After E3
May we live as a people transformed by God,
Hopeful in God’s continued guidance,
Trusting in God’s continued work within us,
Having faith that God will empower us to Encounter, embrace, and embody Christ, wherever we may go.
(taken from the E3 Milepost litany, read together at the 2023 Annual Delegate Sessions, Pincher Creek)

Year 3: Encountering, Embracing, Embodying Christ in the World
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,
as though God were making his appeal through us.
We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20
You are the light of the world. …let your light shine before people,
so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14

E3 History
E3=MCA
After a year-long process of discernment, it's time to incarnate the vision. Vision 20/20 has led us to a three-year plan (2020-2022) as Tim described in his article, Christ's Body, Living Stones: A Vision 20/20 Reflection.
Year One - 2020
Christ in Life
- How do we nurture our relationship with God?
- How do we reclaim prayer & spiritual disciplines?
- How do we remember that we are deeply beloved?
- How are we formed so we are able to give ourselves in the world?
Year Two - 2021
Christ in Community
- How do we practice deep community, hospitality and welcome in our congregations?
- How do we allow ourselves to heal from old narratives (pas conflicts, feeling small) so that we can celebrate God's activity among us?
- How is the character of our community formed so that we reveal the face of Christ to the world?
Year Three - 2022
Christ in the World
- How are we being invited to pour ourselves out as the Body of Christ for the world, bringing healing and hope to a world in need?
- To what is God calling us with respect to our engagement with the world?
