Chinook Winds Regional Gathering

April 30 to May 4, 2026, Southminster
United Church Lethbridge, AB

Marci Duncombe, our Congregational Regional Representative, and I are attending the Chinook Winds Regional Gathering in Lethbridge this weekend. The theme for our gathering this year is Provoking Leadership, which is described this way: Exploring how God provokes us to leadership, how we offer leadership in the church that is provoking,and how the church might provoke Christ-like change in the world.

The theme is inspired by Hebrews 10:23-24, and one of the Regional Council Executive’s annual goals for the Region, Effective Leadership. We are connecting with United Church folks from across central and southern Alberta, and hearing reports from the various ministries of our region. We are being inspired by our guest speaker, Rev. Mitchell Anderson, who is the lead minister of St. Paul’s United Church in Saskatoon.

We look forward to sharing this experience with all of you when we return.

Peace and joy from Lethbridge!
