Hard to believe it’s been a month since we all gathered in Abbotsford, B.C. for Gathering 2019! For videos of our guest speaker Dr. Elaine Heath, our Firestarter Storytellers, and for stories and photos, go to http://home.mennonitechurch.ca/IgniteGathering2019. We will be updating this page throughout the summer. If you have any questions or concerns concerning our nationwide event, please contact the MC Canada Communications Officer at kdsawatzky@mennonitechurch.ca. Thank you and have a wonderful summer!

Welcome to Abbotsford, everyone! We hope your travels were enjoyable. Here’s what you need to know regarding the shuttle schedule for folks going from Best Western Inn to Quality Inn and for kids from Quality Hotel and Best Western Inn going to the Children’s Gathering at Emmanuel Mennonite.

We have one shuttle bus that is making a loop. It will leave Best Western at 8:15 a.m. picking up kids that are going to the Children’s Gathering. Then it will pick up kids and adults at Quality Inn. It will then travel to Emmanuel Mennonite and drop kids off for Children’s Gathering. If you have any questions, call or text Katie at 306-520-8049.

The Program Book incorrectly states that Leadership Day begins at 9:30 a.m. The day will in fact begin at 9:00 a.m. Apologies for the confusion and we look forward to seeing you there!

“The imagination of the church is still unfolding and becoming. We have said that the local congregation is the foundational unit of the church. We believe that the role of the regional and nationwide churches is to bring together, celebrate and provide resources for these local missional communities. To hear from each other about what ignites our imaginations is a great idea.”
