We Need You To Be Part of Envisioning the Future
Earlier this year we began a visioning process for the ministry of our congregation called New Beginnings. As we return to the overall process this fall, you will all have the opportunity to look at the assessment that was completed in the first phases.
Open Workshop - Sep 23
On Friday, September 23 in the evening, you are invited to meet our New Beginnings’ coach, Rev. Ian Fraser, who will be guiding us through the next phases of the process. The coach will be leading a workshop to help us understand how ministry has radically changed over the past few decades and to help us get excited about new possibilities for ministry. The number of people who participate greatly impacts the outcome of this process. So, we need you to let us know whether you can be there or not.

Ian will also preach at Prairie on Sept 25th, which you won’t want to miss!
Groups for New Beginnings
We need everyone to be involved! This is were you are invited to really unpack our congregation’s assessment, wrestle with its implications and help to choose a future story for Prairie!
We have had some small groups operating at Prairie for the last few years. Some of these groups will be starting up again in the fall, but their usual mode of meeting will be put on pause in October because there is also a group phase that is part of New Beginnings.
It involves meeting 4 times over a 4 to 6 week period with the same small group. You will need to register for a group and let us know about your availability. We will get you more details about this, when we get close to the time that the groups will start in October.
We are prioritizing in-person meetings as much as possible. We are finding that having productive and creative conversations is far easier in person. We will also provide Zoom access for all meetings but ask that you consider coming in person if you are able and are comfortable.
