Pastors Council Retreat
All members of the MCA Pastors Council are invited to join this retreat at Mount St. Francis Retreat Centre in Cochrane.
April 29 (4 p.m. ) to May 1 (1 p.m.)
This event, planned by the Congregational Life Committee, is focused more on “being and becoming” rather than “thinking and doing."
The retreat is planned as a time of rest and renewal timed for after the busy Lent and Easter season.

Wild Hope for God's Garden
Psalm 24 declares: “The Earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it.”
As concerns and contentious debates about issues like climate change – that is, God’s Earth – increase in society, the church must find authentic and faithful ways to respond.
These sessions weave together scientific frameworks that explain the state of God’s creation with faith-based responses. Tools such as the Planetary Boundaries and the Ecological Footprint map out how ecological systems are faring, while biblical and theological principles, and explorations of discipleship in ecological contexts, frame Christian approaches for thought and action. The interconnections between ecological realities and eco-theology lead into pathways to caring for and restoring God’s good creation and contributing a Christian perspective to broader societal conversations. Many people are increasingly falling into despair, which Christian hope can help to counter. The sessions will be interactive and provide space for exploration and discussion.
The series will close with a worship service that provides a liturgical summary through song and word.
