General News and Announcements

September 17, 2008

The United Church of Canada’s 40th General Council 2009 will take place August 9 to 15, 2009, at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Okanagan* in Kelowna, B.C., hosted by Kamloops-Okanagan Presbytery.

The theme of the General Council will be “Down to the Potter’s House” (based on Jeremiah 18:1-6):

• How is God shaping The United Church of Canada?
• What are we being shaped to hold, to pour out?
• How do we make space for God’s work?
• In what ways are we being drawn “down” to hear God’s word?

United Church members may participate in many ways:

• as a commissioner to the 40th General Council 2009
• as a steward at the 40th General Council 2009
• as a delegate from your presbytery to Youth Forum
• as a delegate to the Children and Young Teens Program
• by nominating a candidate for Moderator
