The Greater Vancouver Circuit is pleased to host the 2024 BC Church Workers Conference. The conference is a time for refreshment, renewal and growth for LCC church workers in BC, and will be held September 30 - October 3, 2024 at the Sorrento Centre in Sorrento, BC. The schedule includes time for relaxation, learning, fellowship, and good meals so that church workers can return home with new energy and/or ideas to apply in their ministry.
The topic is LGBTQ2+ Caring Conversations. The goal in covering this topic is to grow in understanding of how we, as students of Jesus and members of LCC, can minister to people in the LGBTQ2+ community, and people who have friends or family or relatives in this community. The idea of a caring conversation is one where we have care and respect for our beliefs as members of LCC, and care and respect for those we are talking with, or about. To help us do this, Dr. John Hellwegge and Deacon Lisa Olding will lead us in complementary sessions.
Fellowship times will include a wine and cheese welcome on Monday night, a “Test the Spirits”* night (bring a rum or scotch or something else for others to experience by flavour or scent) and a games night (bring a game along). Afternoon options are an outing to Margaret Falls (or Adams Lake), beach time (possibly with kayaks and stand up paddle boards), an outing to Crannóg Ales, or maybe a return to the motorcycle museum.
* Non-alcoholic drinks available.
