Us with the LeaderShift and Pacific Mountain Regional Council Teams are really REALLY excited that this generous soul is coming all the way to BC to lead us in deep thinking and knowing about what it means to thrive within a smaller church framework. This is Alice Mann! Incredibly well published and respected, Alice is coming out of retirement to be our keynote speaker at Holy Shift Size-mic Upgrade. We’re keeping registration open till Friday at noon (Sept 27), and we have around 95 attending. There’s definitely room for more, if you can make it work. Oh! Alice says, “I look forward to being in Kamloops to get to know your beautiful province!” #holyshift #sizemicupgrade #churchriseup #alicemanntheogian #steadyandstrong Oct 4-6 #yka #leadershift

Dears,
Last week we released our Holy Sift draft program, outlining the flow for this October 4-6's Size-mic Upgrade Conference. This week we have the Story Circle and Learning Circle descriptions ready to share (scroll to read!). We are SO thrilled by, and honoured to share the quality and diversity of leadership and engaging topics at Holy Shift. There's still time to register, including for the Youth Circle (for teens, lead by the PMRC Youth Ministry Staff).
We were thankful for the full registration next week's Mental Health First Aid event - so the organizing team secured a second training happening on the same dates, at the same times (Sept 25 & 26th, 8:30-4:30) at Crossroads United. There are still a few spots open at Crossroads.
November isn't too far off, and we encourage you to pilgrimage to Delta BC/ Kwantlen/ Semiahmoo/ Musqueam/ Tsleil-Waututh territories, to tap into the leadership and experience of UK-based Michael Jagessar. Beyond Good Intentions is an important and timely topic of engagement and learning - so much so that the Pacific Mountain Regional Council staff are having a full team inservice with Michael on Nov 26th. The resulting breadth of common learning that will ripple across our Pacific Mountain Regional Council is incredible in terms of United Church leadership and ministry of presence. We hope you can attend.
Faithfully,
The LeaderShift Team

Music with Dawn at Holy Shift!
Have you ever sung with Dawn?! Winner of Best Urban Recording at the 2015 Western Canadian Music Awards, Dawn Pemberton knows how to harness her power and use her gifts! We are so stoked that we get to move and groove next month with Dawn at Holy Shift. Getting ready, Dawn sent us this: “This is me at Fuentes Georginas in Gautemala! I’m going to Holy Shift because real people talking about real ideas together is inspiring. This is an important and unique time for our church and what happens now will shape things in the future. We need to be open minded, ready to work, and move together with faith and courage.” #doittoit #dawnpberton #groovewithgod #holyshiftpmr #leadershiftpmr #sizemicupgrade #thisoctober #unitedchurchconference #yka
