We invite pastoral leaders to join us in beautiful Montreal from May 24 - 27 for a conference focused on your encouragement and renewal. Through these months of pandemic, clergy have faced many challenges specific to their roles in leadership, pastoral care, and teaching. You have adapted, developed new modes of ministry, and wondered about the future. Perhaps now is a time for refreshment and encouragement through worship and reflection.
NOTE THAT EVENTS FOR THE CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD IN LARGER SPACES AT ST. JAX CENTRE AND AT THE CHURCH OF ST. ANDREW AND ST. PAUL, TO ALLOW FOR DISTANCING AND TO ENSURE A SAFE EVENT.
