Holding a Vision for the Future

In the coming months, EOORC will be holding two gatherings of congregational leaders and ministry personnel to discuss our future as the United Church of Canada.

Friday September 19th – Riverside United Church, Ottawa

Saturday October 4th – Trinity United Church, Smiths Falls

At these full-day events, participants will be given the opportunity to hear about the state of the church today, where we would be in ten years if the trajectory were to continue, and how we might work collaboratively to impact and shape that future.

We encourage members of your decision-making body (Church Council or Board) to attend. Chairs and Presidents of congregations and pastoral charges, as well as key decision-makers in your community of faith are key players in the future of the church. This is why we are asking you to take this time out of your schedules to come and reflect together how we move forward.

Both events run from 9:30 – 4 pm. Lunch is included, free of charge.

Invitations will be sent out and registration will open later this summer. Please choose one of the two events.

If you have any questions, please contact Natalie Matkovsky (nmatkovsky@united-church.ca)
