We will focus on answering God’s call to faithful discipleship\, as individuals take on active roles with leadership teams (Nominations) and as we begin to imagine how to discern our path forward together (VisionAction). We will discuss the new Remit\, concerning the autonomy of the Indigenous church and highlight upcoming celebrations of the completed Mohawk translation of the Bible. Updates from other initiatives will also be shared. \nThe afternoon will conclude with a celebration of milestones for ministry personnel\, including the ordination of three candidates for ministry: Cynthia Reynolds\, Aaron Miechkota and Aron Molnar. We will also mark some other important milestones in the lives of ministry personnel\, communities of faith and pastoral charges\, celebrating (and grieving) together. \nHow can I prepare for the meeting?\nDO YOUR HOMEWORK: Please download and review documents in advance by clicking on titles in the Meeting Resources section below.
