Deep Dive - A Time for Ministry Personnel, Pre-PMRC AGM

  • St. Andrew's-Wesley United Church (map)

A LeaderSHIFT offering with Growth Animator, Rev. Scott Reynolds

Come to Vancouver BC a day before the Pacific Mountain Regional Council 6th Annual General Meeting to explore how we are called to minister and lead in this time and place, post-pandemic.

How did you embrace ministry during the pandemic, and what did you learn? What do we want to lament, and what do we want to ask God’s blessings on? How can we support one another in the challenging work of ministry leadership today?

A time of community, discernment, and celebration.

Deep Dive - A Time for Ministry Personnel

  • 1pm Wednesday May 29 until 1pm Thursday May 30
