At its retreat in Saskatoon in August, 1995, the Canadian MB Conference Executive Board agreed to make significant changes to our biennial conventions.
People want more inspirational sessions, more significant interaction with others and training opportunities which will assist in effective ministry. The result? Start from scratch, and shape a convention with a clear purpose in mind.
Inspirational Sessions
- Thursday evening
- Saturday banquet and communion
- Sunday worship celebration
Significant Interaction/Training Sessions
- Networking seminars - Friday morning
- Youth and children's programs
- 1/2-hour coffee breaks
- Roundtable Bible study - Friday evening
- Organized tours - Saturday afternoon
Business and Information Sessions
- Ministry vignettes and workshops
- Roundtable plenary session for recommendations
Speakers
- Ed Boschman
- Elaine Pinto
- Pierre Gilbert
- Testimonies
Our goal, under the SERVE 2000 theme, will be to prepare each delegate to serve more effectively within the home church. We extend a special welcome to all leaders who want to pick up ministry tools for service.
