From Community of Christ eNews 02-14-2019 EditionOn 17 February 2019, Community of Christ members and friends join together to support the 2019 World Conference through prayer and financial giving.
Presiding Evangelist Jane Gardner has written a prayer of blessing for the upcoming conference and the offering that will be collected. Congregations are encouraged to share the prayer during the Disciples’ Generous Response on 17 February. The prayer and special offering helps are in the online Worship Resources for 17 February. Funds from the offering will help members and friends worldwide take part in World Conference through live webcasts, social-media interaction, and materials published during and after conference. You can give in a variety of ways.
 Greetings –
On October 20, 2018, the Facility Planning Team met with the congregation to discuss its findings from the property search and feasibility study. The Team’s mandate throughout this process was to research and explore options that met the criteria of the congregation’s Needs Assessment Survey. The Facility Planning Team’s presentation was on-time and under budget. Thanks to the clear mandate provided by the congregation, the Facility Planning Team was able to present a detailed analysis – including a financial forecast – ensuring congregants had the best information in front of them ahead of any decision-making. Ultimately, the congregation acknowledged that the options before them were financially unsustainable and provided positive feedback to the Facility Planning Team concerning next steps. This leads us to today. As we close the previous chapter in our facility transition process, we are blessed with a great deal of useful information, research, and budgeting that will be invaluable to us in our next phase. We would like to now pause to provide you with opportunities to brainstorm other possible ideas and solutions. We will be offering three face-to-face one-hour brainstorming sessions at our Lions Village location on the following dates and times:
Coffee and donuts will be provided! Alternatively, if you would like to provide written input, you may do so by emailing Parker Johnson, Facility Chair, at parker@communityofchrist.ca. For our out-of-town members and friends, we will be offering an online brainstorming session via Zoom. We will be connecting with these individuals soon to set a convenient date and time. We now stand on the knowledge from the findings of the 2018 Feasibility Study Report, and our future looks bright. We look forward to hearing your creative feedback. Blessings, Calgary Community of Christ Facility Planning Team Doug Hayden Parker Johnson Ken Moor Sam Smalldon You can always find the most current worship schedule on the Calendar tab of our website.

We hope you will join us for 10 a.m. Coffee & Conversation followed by the 11 a.m. Worship Service. See you Sunday! We will enjoy a non-traditional service this Sunday as Marilyn Smith introduces us to the concept of dinner church. This is a larger movement being embraced by other faith traditions that involves the breaking of bread, community building, worship components, and meaningful conversation. It is a truly contextual experience. Please note that this is a shared potluck meal. There is no menu set for this gathering, so please bring whatever dish you feel is most appropriate for the occasion. The meal will take place at our usual meeting place at Lions Village and will begin at 11 a.m. Please join us as we explore new expressions of Christ's Mission, and don't forget to bring along your favourite dish!  |
