A new look!

The Canadian MB Conference has made significant changes to its biennial convention. This year, there will be more inspirational sessions, more significant interaction with others and more training opportunities. 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 leaders who want to pick up tools for service.
