Re-Imagine Church

 

We all know the challenges the church is currently facing!

We do need to Re-imagine the church and we need to do that as teams of laity and clergy together as we listen for where the Spirit is leading us.

To help engage in this conversation I will be facilitating the Reimagining Church Course in Kinmount beginning May 29th, 2012.

The course is a newer version of the Mission Shaped Introduction Course.

Re-imagine the church involves 5 Tuesday evening sessions – and will take place at St. James, Kinmount (19 Water Street) – 7 – 9 p.m. beginning on May 29th and finishing June 28th. I strongly  encourage each parish to have a team of clergy & laity join me in the course – to listen and learn together and continue the important conversation of where we are going in the 21st Century in order to be faithful to God’s call to us.

Cost of the course will be covered by the Church.

Sign up sheet is on the bulletin board. I look forward to sharing in this program with you!

Blessings,

Linda
Bishop of the Trent Durham Area

A fun night was held on March 31 with another delicious dinner by Paul and Phyllis Carpentier and the very able kitchen wait staff. Sincere thanks are extended to all who assisted including the Social Committee and all who set up tables.

Bill Witham, our wine master and Helen Roberts, our hostess need to be mentioned along with all those who took table cloths home and helped clean up the room. Thanks to Ken and Arlene Gray for the entertainment.

However, the evening would not have netted over $2000.00 without our parishioners who donated their time and talents to our auction table. Our hats go off to all who participated in any way.

Please visit their page on the site  that outlines the program summary and when activities are on.
