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.

RIGHT RELATIONS EVENT - SEPTEMBER 24 -26, 2010 TWIN PONDS CAMP

The United Church of Canada has made a commitment to live out its apologies to the Aboriginal Peoples and communities of Canada. One of the ways we hope to achieve this is through learning to live in right relationship with each other. The history, stories, and legacies of colonialism in Newfoundland and Labrador are, like so many other aspects of our life, different than that of the those elsewhere in Canada. Many of the issues we strug-gle with today are unique to our province. At the same time, some, such as attitude, are common to all provinces. Drawing upon Sacred teachings of previous generations, this event is designed to begin the process for present and future generations to live in harmony with each other. In order to include as diverse input as possible, we will strive for a balance of native and non-native, male and female, youth and post-youth participation.

General Secretaries Weekly Letter

Dear Colleagues and Friends:

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”

We tend to joke uncomfortably about those words in these days of smaller congregations and less regular church attendance.
