You might be interested in hearing Project Zion Podcast host, Carla Long, speak to Susan Naylor and Tammy Lindle Lewis, the 2019 World Conference Directors. Listen in and hear all about what we can expect this year at Conference.  Tropical Cyclone Idai made landfall in Mozambique with 175 kph (110 mph) winds last week and major rainfall and storm surge before moving inland into Zimbabwe and Malawi, affecting 1.5 million people in its wake.
Please keep the people of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Malawi in your prayers as they deal with the devastation of this storm. As of today, we do not have specific information about the impact to members and friends or church faciliities in those countries. More information will be shared as it becomes available. The First Presidency shared the following letter with church members and friends in New Zealand. To members of Community of Christ in New Zealand:
Since the announcement of the tragic shooting in your nation, the members of the First Presidency have held you and the people of New Zealand in our prayers. There is never adequate words to express at a time of deep loss and tragedy like all of you have experienced in the past several days. And yet, even in the midst of the pains and sorrows that grip all of us around the world, there is the consistent message of God’s love and peace that seeks to be heard in our lives and in our responses to this kind of loss. Please know that we unite our faith in God with your faith as we pray for healing for all the families impacted, the Christchurch community and your nation. As the Easter celebration is one month away, we need to remember that God’s faithfulness will always seek to bring healing and new life out of suffering and tragedies we all face. This is the hope we hold on to for you and for the people of New Zealand. Though we are a long distance from you, we are united with you in our prayers, our hope, and our love and faith. May each of you encounter moments of peace and blessings from our love and from God’s presence that abides. With prayerful thoughts, The First Presidency Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. for a discussion on Art Smith's Herald magazine article entitled, "Using the Spirit to Form New Connections." (pages 6-10) Please review prior to Sunday morning and bring your copy of the Herald with you.
This article touches on the very topic Shirley was hoping to discuss. See full topic description below: Topic: "Learn about Creating Connection" Led by: Shirley Smith Details: You are invited to join me and learn about “Creating Connection” as a way to do the mission of the church in communities where we live. I will share my recent experience with this concept that was initiated three years ago in the Canada East Mission. “Creating Connection” is a tool that can enable disciples to meet other people in their community who are looking for deeper relationships, more meaning in their lives, people who are interested in inclusive communities where activities and conversation is shared. This concept can also be facilitated via an online format as well. The goal is to meet in cluster groups or online on a regular basis to form community with people outside our congregations. Currently there are more than 20 small groups active in Ontario. The church sponsors this activity and upholds our nine enduring principles as our foundation. Reunion 2019 resources are available! 🎉 ⛺️ They include: 1. Children's Activity Guide 2. Sharing Services 3. Worship Resources 4.

The World Conference community represents spiritual communities from cities, towns, and villages around the world. Each comes with distinct experiences that impact how they see, hear, and respond.
