Holding a vision for the future: A gathering of United Church leadership from every congregation
2025-10-17 09:30 - 2025-10-18 16:00 | Beaconsfield United Church and Lennoxville United Church, Quebec, Canada
Conseil régional Nakonha:ka Regional Council has decided to hold two gatherings of congregational leaders and ministry personnel to discuss our future as the United Church of Canada, for the first time ever in our Region. The one-day events will take place on October 17th, 2025 at Beaconsfield United Church (202 Woodside Rd, Beaconsfield) and on October 18th, 2025 at Lennoxville United Church (6 Rue Church, Sherbrooke). Please choose whichever location and date is most convenient for you. October 17th will be led by Rev. Éric Hébert-Daly, our Executive Minister, and Dr. Esther Guillén, our Community of Faith Support Minister. October 18th will be led by Esther Guillén and Royal Orr, chair of the region’s Finance & Extension Board and a member of the Towards 2035 Vision Keeper Team.
At this full-day event, 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.
The events will take place 9:30am to 4pm on their respective dates. Lunch will be provided at no cost. Vegetarian and gluten-free options will be available, but you may decide to bring your lunch if you have more specific needs. Please note that registration to include lunch will close on October 5.
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.
Since this could be the largest gathering of our region in its history, registration will help us plan and prepare, including meals and group facilitation. Please register here.
Looking forward to working with you in this new way so that we may all shape our future intentionally and with discernment.
Blessings,

Rev. Éric Hébert-Daly
Regional Executive Minister

Dr. Esther Guillén
Community of Faith Support Minister
