It’s soon to be 2026! And it’s Epiphany, a key marker in the
liturgical year. Join the Moderator, The Right Rev. Dr.
Kimberly Heath, for a New Year’s address and town hall built around the theme
of Epiphany. Start off a year of transformation infused with hope as the Growth team and church plant leads offer insights into Toward 2035, and introduce newly affiliated emerging Communities of Faith.
Explore how the
journey of the Wise Ones is risky because it defies Empire.
Where do you see the signs not just of hope but of
transformation in the church?
There will be an opportunity for you to tell us. And to ask
questions: a half-hour Q&A will wrap up the evening. Join the Moderator in
conversation with the Church. And the Church in conversation with possibility.
Start the new year with an a-ha moment. Start with hope and
inspiration.
This event will be as bilingual in French and English as we
can make it. Live interpretation to be confirmed.
