Four Regional Fall Gatherings in October
It's when a lot of us realize we are part of a national movement of like-minded people, from coast to coast — and that the congregation we call home is part of a community of congregations, with shared experiences, songs, traditions, values, commitments and needs.

EASTERN: Fredericton, October 14-16
CENTRAL: Peterborough, October 21-23
WESTERN: Edmonton, October 14-16
B.C.: Kelowna, October 21-23
