Learning With Linda:

This weekend, I learned a lot! I shared in two ordinations and two very different worship services, all in the FMCIC in Saskatchewan. Such wonderful people! I learned about the tremendous work the MEGAP does to discern and develop those who have heard the call into ordained ministry. I heard the newly ordained ministers celebrate the pastors in their network and the family and friends who invested part of their holiday weekend in supporting this major step in their faith journey. I was honoured to share in every one of these stories.

We will return to B. T. Roberts next week. It gives you another week to figure out the answer to my question!

Blessings on you, my FMCIC family.

Bishop Linda shares a wonderful message during the ordination service.

The Free Methodist Church in Canada has publicly confessed, “a role in the oppression of First Nations people, whether by action or passive inaction, past or present.” Since this confession at the General Conference in 2008, the FMCIC has committed to seeing the work of Truth and Reconciliation as ongoing and continuous.

The Intercultural Engagement Team continues to nurture relationships and partnerships with organizations and individuals that focus on and/or engage with issues central to meeting the Calls to Action raised by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Local congregations play a crucial role in continuing the journey forward. The FMCIC has created a framework to provide resources, support, with information to aid, and educate.

The BOA gathers with the National Leadership Team:

The new Board of Administration recently voted in at our General Conference gathering in April, met this past weekend at the FMCIC National Ministry Centre in Mississauga for the first time with Bishop Linda Adams and the National Leadership Team.

We are so grateful for their service and oversight, please join us in praying for them over the next few days.

Changes to the National Ministry Centre:

The National Ministry Centre is working on upgrading our building and has just replaced our faded 28-year-old sign with a new one including our logo. Under a separate grant from the government, we will be replacing our front doors with new glass doors in the coming weeks, which will provide increased energy efficiency and security. If you are in the neighbourhood, stop by and have a look!
