Pastors, an offer you should consider… Part 2 Last week I had Paul Millar, our pastor from the happening church in Westport, tell you about his experience with Church Renewal out of Steinbach MB. I also mentioned in my notes last week that I had the opportunity to visit with

Pastors, here’s an offer not to pass up… Karlene and I were in friendly Manitoba this past weekend (Steinbach, Brandon and Winnipeg). A special treat was that Wawota, SK church family joined MB.

Regional Gathering British Columbia (5/12!) I loved being with the BC crew this weekend at Regional Gathering. Thank you for the warm and laughter filled atmosphere. On Sunday I enjoyed visiting for the first time our Kamloops church, pastored by Pastor Shelley Utz. Pastor Shelley, Dan and their kids moved
Another weekend, another Regional Gathering: Wonderful Albertans! On Friday I had supper with a motivated church board and their new pastor – they actually almost forgot to say grace, but they assured me that this was not reflective of their corporate prayer life. On Saturday night and Sunday I was
A Leadership book worth reading… Two more Regional Gatherings: This past Thursday the Barrie FMC hosted one Regional Gathering, and then on Saturday we were in Tillsonburg. Thank you to all who participated. I was asked what I hoped would be true about the FMCIC in three years if we
