This Sunday's bulletin will be made available in print on Sunday morning for you. We hope you'll make plans to join us for both the 10 a.m. Facility Brainstorming Session and 11 a.m. Worship. Our theme on Sunday is "Boldly Persevere."
See you Sunday!  Reunion is a time for spiritual growth, personal discernment, renewed relationships—and fun. “Following the Spirit” is the theme of this year’s materials. Each is designed to be modified for your reunion location and the makeup of the community you serve. The materials are flexible enough to use for Sunday school or individual study.
Adult Lessons, a book in printed form, will be available through www.HeraldHouse.org in April . All others are available through www.CofChrist.org now as PDFs to download and print locally. Look for:
 Estimated contributions to Worldwide Mission Tithes in January were $875,000, approximately $155,000 behind projections.
The Worldwide Mission Tithes goal for 2019 is $14.7 million. May we each continue to explore our true capacity to support mission and sustain the church into the future. Bad weather? Vacation? Illness? Signing up for PAT allows you to give to support mission even when you can’t be there in person. Sign up today!  This year the 40 days of the Lenten season overlap with the 40 days of spiritual preparation the church has been invited to engage in as we get closer to World Conference. It's a wonderful opportunity to focus and draw our attention to the One we love and serve. Here are a few suggestions for your journey…

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 one more face-to-face one-hour brainstorming session at our Lions Village location this Sunday:
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. 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  Greetings -
We have a great set of upcoming discussion topics for our 10 a.m. Coffee & Conversation Hour throughout March. Check out the list below, and join us! 03-17-2019 Topic: "Share Your Building Transition Ideas with Us" Led by: Facility Planning Team Details: We will be offering one more face-to-face one-hour brainstorming session at our Lions Village location this Sunday on the topic of our building transition. Coffee and donuts will be provided. Click here to read the full announcement. 03-24-2019 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. 03-31-2019 Topic: "World Conference Resolution - Bridge of Hope Discussion" Led by: Sam Smalldon Details: Sam Smalldon will be leading the congregation in a discussion on Bridge of Hope on Sunday, March 31 at 10 a.m. The document could have an impact on multiple resolutions, so this discussion will help to provide a good understanding heading into World Conference. Please review these materials for the coffee and conversation and bring your questions.
