Small and Mighty! Brought to you by your UCC friends in the Kootenays

LeaderShift is working with a dynamic group of United Church people to put on Kootenay Faith Fest 2020: Small and Mighty! This online event is described in full on our dedicated KFF2020 page (click to visit), but we want to take ever opportunity to invite you - yes YOU - to come join the event!

KFF2020 will be all online - streaming from Knox United Church in Fernie BC, and from Halifax NS where keynote speaker, Dave Csinos is located. We’ve enlisted the skills of Allan Buckingham to navigate the online world for us and a local arrangements crew to capture the feel of a UCC conference — empowering all participants to enjoy a virtual conference with fun things like a walking tour of Fernie! Faith@Home kits to gets hands on with theme materials in your own house! Interesting and relevant workshop sessions to inspire, educate and connect! A gorgeous swag bag of Kotoenays-sourced candles, chocolate and soap for the first 100 registrations! Plus — Sunday morning worship that’s open to everyone, not just KFF2020 participants.

The theme is Small and Mighty, and the content is tailored to folks who call a small community and a small church home. Dave will invite thought and conversation around the unique advantages being small gives us when it comes to developing and nurturing faith, serving our neighbours, working collaboratively with other faith and community groups, and growing relationships that matter.

We are SO excited for Kootenay Faith Fest 2020, and to welcome you to the online festivities this September 23-27th.

Faithfully,
The LeaderShift Team
