Facilitator:

• Rev Beth Hayward. Beth Hayward has been Lead Minister at Canadian Memorial UC in Vancouver since 2012. Her congregation, like many others, places a high value on its worship experience. They also LOVE their coffee hour and keeping connected to one another. The current pandemic has meant a complete upending of how the congregation once gathered, a steep learning curve for all. Beth brings twenty years of worship leadership from rural to urban settings. She is a deep listener and a curious leader and is delighted to host this conversation on what we are learning about leading worship in the midst of isolation.
