WELCOME TO NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR
CONFERENCE
THE UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA
 Newfoundland
and Labrador Conference is one of 13 United Church
conferences across Canada, our conference being the most
easterly.
The oversight of the life and work of our approximately 200 congregations is exercised by our East and West Districts, while Conference co-ordinates and oversees matters that effect the combined interests of the two Districts. We invite you to browse our site and take a look at our stories and our life and work.

| CHAPLAINCY SUNDAY INFORMATION AND SERVICE |
Greetings to each of you,
Each year the Sunday of the spring meeting of District is designated as Chaplaincy Sunday. This special service helps raise the profile of chaplaincy within our conference. We anticipate this service will also be educational about the roles of chaplains working throughout our conference and elsewhere. Most of the funding for these positions comes from the Mission and Service Fund for which we are deeply grateful. Our hospital chaplains in Corner Brook, Gander and St. John’s are Ms. Marilyn Avery, Rev. Sheldon Legrow, Rev. Scott Parsons and Rev. Florence Sanna respectively. In addition, Rev. Scott Parsons is chaplain at Her Majesty’s Penitentiary in St. John’s. Also in St. John’s serving as chaplain at Memorial University and the Marine Institute is Rev. Pamela Jones-Fitzgerald.
We are providing congregations with the following resource in the hopes you will use it either on Chaplaincy Sunday or another time. We hope this service will be helpful and offer it as a guide. Please feel free to use it in its entirety, adapt sections as you need or use portions of this service that work for you.

| AUCTION AT CONFERENCE |
HI, Everyone,
I hope that you are all getting as excited about the upcoming Conference/District Meetings as I am. I also hope that your congregation is planning something special for our first ever auction to raise money to help support our conference Chaplaincy ministry, a ministry of healing that has touched congregational members in each of our pastoral charges.
If you already know that you are brininging something to be auctioned please let me know, so we can have an idea about table space for displaying the auction items. You can contact me via email - kathy.brett101@gmail.com
or by calling 896-4639 (home) or 896-5991 (church).
Thanks and I look forward to seeing you at conference.
Blessings,
Kathy Brett (for the auction committee)

We have had some inquiries with regard to billeting at the upcoming Conference/District meetings. Just to clarify, billeting is provided for delegates if you indicate this on your registration form. If you have chosen to arrange your own accommodations (i.e. hotel/B & B), it will be at your expense.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.
