We have a newly selected Moderator, and new and returning members of the General Council Executive, the decision-making body for the United Church between meetings of the General Council. You have a unique opportunity to join the General Secretary, Rev. Michael Blair, to spend an hour in an informal, thoughtful town hall, meet the Executive and the new Moderator, and hear about the work at hand.

Everyone is welcome.

There are new faces and new names on the Executive, and with the first in-person GCE meeting of the new triennium scheduled for Sept. 25-28, this is an opportunity for them to hear about what matters to you. Maybe you have questions, or want to hear more about how GCE works together.

Whether you're a listener or a caller, this check-in is where people in the United Church across the country can have a conversation with leaders in real time, reflect and embrace the richness in our diversity and difference.

Join the General Secretary, Rev. Michael Blair, and guests from the GCE LIVE ONLINE as they make themselves available to hear from the church across the country. Whatever happens in this meeting enriches their preparations for the November GCE meetings and beyond.
