Renovating or Reconstructuring in the United Church

[jimkenney12]

There are many programs and projects in the United Church related to rejuvenating congregations and expanding ministry including planting new churches. I would like this thread to start with descriptions of those programs and projects. When I am able to come back to WC2 in the next few days, I will start describing projects and programs in EOORC. I hope we can describe many before we start discussing their merits and issues.

Folk in my immediate fuzzy circle are trying to work with this conception ... but it is hard ... the solid parts we've been dealt!

The Naked Pastor (a FB site) had some excellent images of this including one on WATERMELLONS and presidency! Came up like an spray of Lilly Pads ...

He challenged folk on the iconic nature of watermelon ... the busting thereof ...

Out west you will find plenty of church planting and expanded/new ministry.

The Abbey Church in Victoria, BC is an Anglican-United Church Plant (alongside a neo-monastic community there)
Becoming Church in New Westminster, BC a new United Church Plant
WeirdChurch in Cumberland, BC is a United Church Plant
Feast & Fallow in Vancouver, BC is a new, vegan cafe with creation care as it's core ministry
Christ our Rock United Church is a brand new church plant in Pemberton, BC
Campus United is an expanded, campus ministry that has gone from 2 schools to over 10 in 5 years in BC and Alberta.
There's a posting for a Church Plant/Campus United job in Olds, Alberta, which is a new ministry.
Affirming Connections is a collective of various Affirming Ministries and Projects out of Calgary

Those are all easily searchable online, but just scratch the surface.
