Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 3 Being the Body of Christ: 1) Business Arising 2) Actions of the Moderator Moderator When reviewing Minutes of past emergent meetings I noticed just how low attendance has been. I understand that we are busy and some emergent meetings are very short, but they are all important. There are around 30 presbyters on the roll, but the average attendance at emergent meetings has been 7 with an average of 10 regrets. As a reminder to all members of the court in the Book of Forms SECTION 186 it states: The presbytery meets at stated intervals, and at other times as frequently as its business demands. It is the duty of every member to attend the meetings, and absentees may be called to account. The time and place of next meeting are fixed and recorded before adjournment. No meeting of presbytery can be held while the General Assembly is in session except by order of the Assembly. When a Representative Elder sends regrets from a congregation that lists 'Any Other Elder' as their alternate elder, there should be a procedure in place for informing 'any other' elder to attend the Presbytery meeting, be it a regular meeting or an emergent meeting. I would also like to remind you all to send your regrets to the clerk as soon as you can for all meetings and whether you plan on attending the lunch/dinner. It greatly assists the host church in their planning for our visit as meal planning, shopping and preparations are usually done days in advance of our meetings. Actions of the Moderator A search committee has been appointed for the General Presbyter position.

A committee has been appointed to review the funding of stipend for the Minister, Family Ministry, St. Andrew's Calgary, taking into account the percentage of work dedicated to Ministry South of Fish Creek.

our September report to Presbytery

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 8

Presbytery Visitation to the Session of St. Andrew’s, Calgary May 2018

14 elders completed the “Who Are We? And What Shall We Become?” survey. Respondents assess St. Andrew’s as presently being a Belonging-style congregation. This is indicated by the blue shape on the plot below and portion of this shape that points towards the “Belonging” heading.

The Belonging Congregation (Internal Focus / Attractional) The typical mainline congregation, emphasizing worship and group activity. This type of congregation seeks stability, harmony, solid teamwork, care, wellbeing and continuing a congregational life that is meaningful to those presently a part of the congregation. This kind of congregation asks, “How can we maintain our congregational life that we have always found so meaningful to ourselves?” These congregations wish to attract newcomers, but little effort is given to retooling the congregation to make it more relevant to society’s culture. The assumption in this type of congregation is “if we find our congregation very meaningful then newcomers will also find it meaningful.”

When asked to reflect on the preferred priorities for the congregation’s future, elders desire a shift away from a Belonging style. As seen from the plot above the priority shift was 10 points. A 10-point shift is considered a “significant” desire for change. Respondents wish the future emphasis

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 9 to be more “spiritual / authentic” and “missional” to an equal degree. If you look at the red axes (with arrow heads on them) you can see that respondents wish to shift congregational life more towards an “incarnational” orientation overall.

The Spirituality-Authenticity Congregation (Internal Focus / Transformational) These congregations have been labeled as “practicing congregations”, emphasizing spiritual growth and self-development. This type of congregation seeks greater meaning in the lives of congregants, intentional spirituality, acceptance of diversity, individuals becoming more authentic and growing deeper as Christians and human beings. This kind of congregation asks, “How can we develop our congregational life, to build on our strengths and meet unmet needs, and so foster and find even greater meaning for ourselves?”

The Missional Congregation (External Focus / Transformational) Missional congregations give priority to the needs of people in the wider community and society. This type of congregation is culturally savvy, entrepreneurial, risk-taking, innovative, compassionate, giving as much priority to meeting the needs of others as they do to meeting the needs of congregants. This type of congregation wishes to be a servant to those beyond its walls, and if growth happens as a consequence then that’s nice too—but growth is not their primary motivation. This kind of congregation asks, “How can we be the best church for our community?” and enjoys the idea that they are unique and “externally focused”.

Through the “Congregational Direction, Vitality and Capacity” survey elders indicated that they see the congregation as a “high vitality / high resources” congregation (demonstrated by the solid dot on the following chart). Even when neutral ratings are added to the negative ratings (shown by the dashed dot) the overall assessment still remains inside the same quadrant. For the participating elders the greatest strengths in the congregation’s sense of vitality are (as affirmed by 75% or more of the respondents):

• Being a caring community (unanimous) • The congregation’s sense of adaptability and capacity for risk-taking • The congregation’s overall positive mood • Engaging worship • Faith nurture • Spirituality • Mission involvement

The rest of the qualities were assessed as moderate strengths:

• Congregational direction • Maintaining accountability in task completion • Tracking progress towards goals

Congregational Direction, Vitality and Capacity

Congregational Vitality & Intentionality For the participating elders the greatest resource strengths are (as affirmed by 75% or more of the respondents):

• The facility as a tool for ministry (unanimous) • The condition of the facility (almost unanimous) • Capable, spiritual leadership

Resources that are neither strong nor weak for the congregation are:

• Financial stewardship • The ability to maintain budget • Adequate volunteers • Partnerships with other organizations • Endowments and savings for the future • The wider community as the congregation’s context

Resource areas that are seen as weak are:

• Membership trends

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 11 Debrief with Session of St. Andrew’s Calgary May 22, 2018 We first clarified that only 50%, or 14 of 28 Session Elders had completed the survey, so were concerned that the responses accurately reflect the assessment of their congregation. When asked why they thought only 14 had completed the survey, the reply was that they thought this was not the right time to do such a survey. It would be better to do it after their new lead minister had been present about a year. Of the 18 present, most agreed with both the description of the current situation and the aspiration for the future, while some doubted that St. Andrew’s really was a Belonging Congregation. The Elders feel that they have been able to ensure a strong on-going ministry despite the three years of transition and acknowledge the help of Rev. Dr. Frank Breisch and Rev. Fiona Swanson in accomplishing this. The Session itself notes that all teams are functioning well, and that their Session retreat was helpful in uniting and focusing them. The office personnel have been reorganized and a part-time communication coordinator was recently hired. Finally, they noted that Sunday school attendance was up, although youth involvement has decreased. They also feel that they have used this time to prepare for their new Lead Minister in whom they place much faith to really engage and motivate the existing congregation and newcomers alike. While there has been some membership attrition and accompanying donation decline, they feel that it has been no more than might be expected. When discussing the congregation’s strengths, “being a caring community” still tops the list. They referred to their “Side By Side” program as well as their new embrace of Stephen Ministry in which 7 members would be commissioned on May 27. A second key strength is their facility which they have maintained well and added useful technology capacity in preparation for welcoming the community. When asked what that might look like, or how that gathering place could serve their community, there was little comment. Currently St Andrews is not endeavoring to formally partner with community organizations. There is strong volunteer support of on-going programs, but a real risk of burn-out which is reflected in the rating of “resources that are neither strong nor weak”. They acknowledge they need to do a better job of engaging new people to volunteer, and truly exhibit a heart of hospitality and welcome. ‘Endowments and savings for the future” were also ranked as neutral. Referring back to the 2015 visitation Recommendation 3: that the Finance team be directed to create benchmarks to measure St. Andrew’s financial health, the management of capital assets, and long-term sustainability, members of finance team suggested that Session be more intentional about communicating our financial status to the congregation, and that Session teams need to be more mindful of the impact new financial commitments have on the five-year plan. As mentioned, givings are down, but not precipitously. However, there was a general sense of unease in discussing this area of ministry. We also asked about the 2015 Recommendation 6: that the Ministers, Director of Music, at least one member of the Personnel Team and one member of Session meet to review the roles, responsibilities and accountability of the Director of Music, clarifying expectations on the process of choosing hymns and liturgical music for weekly worship, to foster improved communication. The court was uncertain if this had occurred, but they noted that there is good diversity in the music

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 12 ministry- every third Sunday a Praise Team leads the music during worship, and on the last Sunday of the month there is a hymn sing before the service- and that in general all seems very positive in this area. When the Lead Minister is in place, this team will continue to meet to fulfill the 2015 Recommendation 6. Given all the transition, the congregation appears to be in very good health. There is an understandable inward focus in many areas, but there is an equally strong sense of preparation and eye to future transformation. The work south of Fish Creek was briefly noted in this regard. The sense of commitment and enthusiasm for the work of the church was obvious among the elders. They are to be congratulated for their strong leadership throughout the many challenges they have faced in the past few years. That leadership has done much to keep the congregation vibrant. The elders expressed their support for their minister, Rev. Jared Miller. Rev. Miller is to be commended for his leadership in the face of unexpected challenges. His leadership, as well, has enabled the congregation to remain vibrant. In closing, the Session requested a visitation in September 2019 after Rev. Dr. Tim Archibald has been with them for one year.

On the first Sunday a candidate for the position of Associate Minister, Engagement and Service preached for the call. On June 17 the congregation will hear the candidate for the position of Associate Minister, Children and Youth, a half time position. On June 24, a candidate for the position of Lead Minister, Vision, Worship and Discipleship will preach for the call. A congregational meeting will be held on June 24 to allow the congregation to vote on each candidate. Recommendation: that the presbytery of Calgary-McLeod hold a special meeting on June 28 at 7.00 pm within Grace Presbyterian Church to hear the calls to Grace Church. Respectfully submitted, Mark Tremblay

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 15 Presbytery Representatives Report: St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Calgary – Jean Morris and Dianne Ollerenshaw Report of Presbytery Representatives to St. Andrew’s, Calgary, June 7, 2018 Since reporting to Presbytery at its regular meeting in February, the Call to The Rev. Dr. Tim Archibald was accepted on May 2 and it is anticipated that an Induction Service will be held on the evening of August 1, in St. Andrew’s, Calgary. On May 3, 2018, the Presbytery met to extend the work absence for The Rev. Jan Hazlett to August 10, 2018. The Rev. Dianne Ollerenshaw continues to provide pastoral care to Ms. Hazlett. The Presbytery Representatives attended meetings of Session on February 20, March 1, 17, 20, and April 17 as well as several meetings of the Search Team. Ms. Ollerenshaw moderated the Congregational Meeting on March 18 for the purpose of considering the call to Dr. Archibald. During the spring there have been changes to office staff and new positions have been filled after the office restructuring. Ms. Dolly Forcade is the Office Administrator, Mr. Jeremy Hexham is the Communications Coordinator and Ms. Debby Dorcas is the Executive Assistant. The Rev. Jared Miller received two weeks Compassionate Leave from St. Andrew’s in April upon the birth of his daughter and this adds a new dynamic to the transitions at St. Andrew’s. In late April, email communication from Ms. Linda Haines, convenor of the Ministry and Resource Accountability Team, was received concerning gaps in hospital visitation and home visits and requesting the name of a minister to assist with pastoral care. We offered our assistance in discernment in creating a part time and short term position description, as well as possible times to meet. We have approached a number of potential people, none of whom are able to serve at this time. The position has not yet been filled. We have often consulted with Mr. Miller about manageability of his workload and he has assured us that he is managing the workload. He is also looking forward to the addition of a colleague in ministry.

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 16 Synod of Alberta and the Northwest Director of Regional Ministries – Dianne Ollerenshaw

Report from Director of Regional Ministries to the Presbytery of Calgary-Macleod, June 9, 2018

1.0 Canada Youth 2018: CY18 will gather on the afternoon of Monday, July 2, and end at noon on Saturday, July 7. The theme is “Stirred Not Shaken” Faith Activated 2 Timothy 1:3-8, and the event will be held at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario. Our Calgary-Macleod group will be departing a day early and visiting Niagara Falls. We have 23 participants from our presbytery (from Centennial, St. Andrew’s, Calgary, Varsity Acres, and St. John’s, Medicine Hat). We have seven enrolled in the Youth Track which is designed for high school students to celebrate their unique place as youth in our church and to provide them a landmark event in their faith journey. Fourteen are enrolled in the Discipleship Track which provides an opportunity for young adults (ages 19 to 25) to be themselves, discern their gifts and be empowered to be effective servants and leaders. John Egger (Christian Education Director at Varsity Acres) and Desiree Henrichsen (member of St. Andrew’s, Calgary) have agreed to be A.B.L.E. Advisors [which means “Adult, Bold Leaders with Energy”] and they will accompany youth under 18. Also Lauren Cole, Joanne Kellough, Zoë Say, and Roberto DeSandoli will be serving as part of the national leadership team with Jo Morris, the CY2018 Coordinator. Three participants and an A.B.L.E. Advisor from Central Alberta Presbytery will be travelling with our group from YYC to YHM, to Niagara, and then Brock University. All participants have now registered online and flight arrangements have been made with the assistance of Phil Gaiser, Treasurer. Some changes have recently been made after deadlines and this has resulted in a credit with WestJet. It is the hope that D. Ollerenshaw can use these credits over the next year in her ministry and that the Synod reimburse the Presbytery for any credits used in travel. To assist with reducing the cost of travel for each participant, D. Ollerenshaw will apply to CY for the travel rebate, to the Synod of Alberta and the Northwest for approximately $75/person, and has written a RFP for the Riverside Endowment Fund. Congregations will soon be notified of the final amount of funds they need to send to the Treasurer of Presbytery. A leadership team comprised of Carissa Backus, Carl Murray, Patience Nahumure, Roberto DeSandoli and Dianne Ollerenshaw has meet on several occasions. We have organized ground transportation, accommodation for the additional night at Brock, Niagara Fall excursions, the design of a Calgary-Macleod T-shirt, and the schedule and program for Orientation Day (June10) for participants and parents. Several forms have been sent out collecting medical and emergency contact information, waiver forms, photo release permission, and a covenant about community life based on love, respect, trust and support. A liturgy for commissioning participants in worship was also shared with the participants’ congregations. D. Ollerenshaw will meet with A.B.L.E. Advisors to review their responsibilities and to be Leading With Care compliant. The CY local planning team will meet after CY to debrief and share any learnings that can assist with planning in the future. A final report with financial statement will be be submitted to the Presbytery in September. The Clergy and Congregational Care Team will be given a copy of forms and minutes of the planning team to assist in future planning.

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 17 2.0 Congregational renewal and evangelism. Within my role in the Synod and in consultation with Canadian Ministries, I have been providing support to a pilot project on Evangelism with the intent to create an Evangelism network, and have been trained as a coach to support congregations in a process of renewal that includes assessment, spiritual discernment, small group engagement, and visioning. Attending an event hosted by the Presbytery of Winnipeg, I had the opportunity to meet Nick Warnes, Executive Director, of Cyclical Inc., and to learn more about the art of creating ecosystems within regions for starting new churches. I am available if you would like to have a conversation in these areas of mission. 3.0 Task Force on realignment of Presbytery Boundaries: Conversations have begun to consider the realignment of presbytery boundaries. At the Synod meeting of October 20, 2017, I, as the Director of Regional Ministries, was appointed to work with Clerks of Presbyteries and the Clerk of Synod to create a resource to be facilitated with each of the presbyteries. On April 18, 2018, I facilitated a conversation with members of the Presbytery of Peace River to look at the current governance and function of its presbytery as well as the benefits and detriments of becoming a larger region. In one of the 2018 fall regular meetings of Calgary-Macleod Presbytery, I would appreciate having time to facilitate a conversation on this theme among presbyters. The goal is to bring a report with a summary of the conversations and to share a comparative analysis at the 2019 meeting of Synod. 4.0 Lunch with Presbyters. We will resume informal lunches with presbyters in the fall and try to host them on different days of the week to accommodate the various schedules of presbyters. They have been found meaningful and provide a way to strengthen and enrich community within the presbytery.

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 18 Indigenous Gathering Place–Dianne Ollerenshaw

Report on Indigenous Gathering Place, Calgary - June 7, 2018

Indigenous Gathering Place, Calgary (Moh’kinsstis) The Indigenous Gathering Place (IGP) Board and Community Members continue to meet regularly to fulfill a community-driven collective vision of a physical space where peoples of Calgary and area can learn and practice cultural, historical, and spiritual traditions associated with Indigenous ancestry. Both UNDRIP and the TRC 94 Calls to Action outline elements of reconciliation that could be supported by the IGP in Calgary. On February 14, March 14, April 11, and May 23, I have attended meetings of the IGP currently held at the Aboriginal Friendship Centre which is the IGP fiscal agent. Serving as a member of the Governance Committee we are striving to ensure we honour oral ways and practices as well as write bylaws that reflect both traditional and western practices. On February 21, I attended a Tea Dance Ceremony at Fort Calgary, to learn from Elders why creating a place in Calgary, specifically for cultural and spiritual practices would be valuable to the community. On May 30, as one member of the IGP team, I participated in hosting a community engagement event which received input from 80 people with 20 Elders. The IGP plans to hire a part time project coordinator to assist the committee with various activities in 2018/2019. Respectfully submitted, Dianne Ollerenshaw United/Presbyterian Campus Ministry – Dianne Ollerenshaw, Sandra Cameron Evans Report on United/Presbyterian Campus Ministry - June 9, 2018 1.0 The Rev. Tim Nethercott, Chaplain, has completed his sabbatical as of early May. During his time away The Rev. Dianne Ollerenshaw checked in weekly with Ms. Zoe Say, Program Director, and Mr. Robert Massey, Communications and Administration Director to provide continuity of care and support to staff over this interim. 2.0 The UPCM committee is exploring options to meet a 2018 budget shortfall. In May, D. Ollerenshaw circulated to presbyters bulletin inserts to communicate the need for financial support. You are encouraged to add the ministry of UPCM to your mission and outreach budget. 3.0 On May 14 to 17, 2018 Zoe and Robert attended an Ecumenical Campus Chaplains Gathering in Five Oaks Education and Retreat Centre in Paris, Ontario. We requested and received $250 from the PCC Special Projects Fund to help cover the registration costs. The keynote speaker was Cody Nielsen, who is Founder and Executive Director, of Convergence and Executive Director of the Wesley Foundation, a Boston Cambridge Ministry of Higher Education. The Spiritual Director for the gathering was Bishop Mark MacDonald. At the gathering Zoe and Robert each lead a workshop related to their work here in Calgary and they led one worship service. This gathering was very meaningful to Zoe and Robert and they received a lot of positive

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 19 encouragement and feedback on the UPCM. Cody Nielsen made arrangements to visit the UPCM and meet with Tim Nethercott and staff while in the west. 3.1 Following the Ecumenical Campus Chaplains Gathering, Zoe was invited to an International Ministry’s Young Adult Consultation with the PCC held in Toronto. The Rev. Daniel Cho participated in this gathering and expressed his desire to visit the UPCM. We hope that the Moderator of the General Assembly may be invited to visit the Presbytery of Calgary-Macleod at time that also works for UPMC. 4.0 The UPCM applied for and received a Canada Summer Student Grant to cover all the expenses for a summer student position for 8 weeks, 30 hours per week at $13.60/hour. Responsibilities for this position include: • Assist with the creation of new multimedia content • Aid in the production of new videos/photos • Use archive images/videos to create new content as directed • Prepare content for use in future campaigns to communicate the UPCM, its events and

information with clubs for the next full school year • Assist with social media management; posting across various platforms • Aid in creation of new social media strategy • Cover ministry events with photos, videos, interviews, and other content for the purpose of live

positing on social media • Assist with planning annual fundraising dinner including but not limited to, marketing materials,

list building, and advertising the event; • Aid in Administration and Archiving by document scanning Ms. Eden Middleton has been hired and she is a student at the University of Calgary, a member of Symons Valley United Church, and a youth leader at St. Thomas United Church. 5.0 We continue to work on the creation of bylaws for the UPCM. The United Church is going through the process of major reorganization that will result in changes of governance with the elimination of four levels to three levels of government, replacing presbyteries & conferences with regional councils. These changes may not be finalized until the UCC’s General Council makes its final decision in July 2018. The UCC has been encouraging some of their ministries to be “incorporated” to facilitate the ease of communicating with different groups including foundations and organizations, which in turn may become sources of future funding support beyond congregations. Within the UCC $289,000 has been set aside for incorporated ministries and specific ministries like camps and university chaplaincies. When there is no longer a UCC Presbytery of Calgary to approach for funding we will then be directed to go to this new national entity for financial support. The UCC has a policy in place for the incorporation of ministries and are recommending that some ministries be incorporated what with the changes in governance being implemented. They also have a process for national staff to review all applications for incorporation before being sent to Corporations Canada. The Rev Oag, Program Coordinator Duty of Care & Incorporated Ministries, is the person with whom the UPCM will be consulting.

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 20 Recently Dianne has communicated with The Rev. Stephen Kendell, Principal Clerk, to inquire what are the implications of this kind of change for ecumenical partners and if someone in the PCC national office should also review our application for incorporation, should both presbyteries (Calgary-Macleod & UCC Calgary) deem to move forward in this direction. The UPCM is already registered as a charity under the name of The United Presbyterian Campus Ministry Committee. Over the summer the committee will be creating bylaws using the UPCM’s 2008 Constitution with an intent for the UPMC Committee to move toward incorporation. We will bring a full report to the September meeting of Presbytery. 6.0 In the fall of 2016 the UPCM applied to the Ewart Endowment for Theological Education. The body responsible for disbursing these funds met a year later in March 2018 to review our application. By the Executive of Assembly Council, a motion was passed to disburse $40,000 over the next two years. We await formal correspondence and the funds. The UPCM is grateful for this news and action. 7.0 The UPCM is beginning to explore the process of becoming an Affirming Ministry. We understand this process could take up to two years and we will be providing more information in the fall. Respectfully submitted, Sandra Cameron Evans and Dianne Ollerenshaw United/Presbyterian Campus Ministry – Tim Nethercott Report to Calgary-Macleod Presbytery The Campus Ministry has had a good year. We continue to work toward being a ministry by young adults and for young adults. We are partnering ecumenically with all of the mainline churches to animate young adult ministry generally. We are working to place the ministry on a sustainable footing. We have a team of two young adults working fulltime. Zoe (PCC) and Robert (UCC) are outstanding representatives and vigorous advocates of their respective churches. Zoe is a brilliant networker. Robert is equally talented in communications, which is a massive effort requiring great sophistication. Together they conduct almost all aspects of our programming and community building, communication and administration. This summer, we have a third full-time young adult, Eden Middleton of Symons Valley United, helping Robert with communications. Rev. Tim Nethercott conducts the ministry of Word, Sacrament and Pastoral Care and all aspects of the ministry arising from it. He sees to the proclamation and vision of the ministry, directs the ministry team and conducts all aspects of Chaplaincy proper on the three Campuses we serve, those being U of C, MRU and SAIT. In most of these functions he works in partnership with Lutheran Chaplain Rev. Margaret Propp who effectively makes a fourth (or this summer, a fifth) member of the ministry team. All members of the team are active in LGBTQ+ inclusion and the effort to live into right relations with Canada’s indigenous peoples. The ministry will undergo the United Church’s Affirming process over the next couple of years.

Reports for June 18, 2018 Presbytery Meeting 21 Without going into great detail, the success of the ministry can be roughly estimated by the fact that we have approximately seventy young adults in programs each week. This number does not include the hundreds of students we interact with or whom we serve through activities conducted jointly with other University or Church organizations. These are people engaged at a significant depth for a significant length of time in one or more of our twelve programs. They are our city-wide young adult community with a Christian community--largely the Peer Partners--at its core surrounded by people engaged in various spiritual-but-not-overtly-Christian activities. As unchurched young adults in the larger spiritual-but-not-religious community have a positive, non-coercive experience of the Campus Ministry they sometimes gravitate toward the deeper experience that is offered to them in the Christian core of the ministry. A full description of our programs can be seen in the Program Guide or on the webpage. A sense of what is happening day to day in the ministry is best gleaned from the main Facebook page. The least visible aspect of the ministry and the one this report will draw attention to is the effort to place the ministry on a sustainable financial footing. We have increasingly focussed on this over the past two years. There is a great deal to learn and a great deal more to do. Our most important behind-the-scenes partner in this is the St. Andrews Regional Ministry, which provides about a third of our $180,000 budget. Rev. Joel den Haan and Richard Betts of St. Andrews are indispensable to the Campus Ministry Committee and the ministry team in developing sustainability strategies. Aside from a hefty chunk of our budget and their own brainpower they provide the services of a non-profit consultant who does the research to evaluate various scenarios. Over the past two years with these partners we have made several successful applications to UCC and PCC funds. Having largely exhausted church funds, we are now turning our attention to corporate, government and foundation sources. While we have always--not very successfully--sought out individual donors, we are now stepping up this effort. All of this activity is leading to the development of a long-term plan involving a major capital project which is hopefully not too many years down the road. The project we are currently exploring is to build a student residence, the proceeds from which would subsidize the ministry, making it sustainable into the future. As Robert and Zoe participate more at the national level in both churches, as we ramp up our communications strategies, the story of the growth and vigour of the Campus Ministry becomes better known. The better known we are, the more successful our fund development efforts will be and the greater our capacity to give the church to a younger generation. Please talk up the Campus Ministry. We are eager to have yet more Presbyterian students in our Peer Partner Leadership program. Bear in mind that young adults in or near Calgary, whether or not they are in post-secondary, are welcome to participate year-round in our on- and off-campus programs. Students home for the summer will meet a crowd of spiritually-minded young adults at our summer bbq’s. Let us know if you need more copies of the Program Guide, several copies of which were mailed to each congregation this spring. Please consider joining us at our annual dinner to be held in September. Please also consider whether your congregation can join the growing number of congregations that support the Campus Ministry through their annual budgets. Respectfully Submitted, Rev. Tim Nethercott Chaplain for the Presbyterian and United Churches Univ. of Calgary, Mount Royal University & Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
