These fees are refundable through Presbytery. Campus Ministries: Congregations are encouraged to support the work of Campus Ministries. Vacation Bible Camps: There was very limited participation in the Vacation Bible Camp program in 2013. Is there still a need for Presbytery to find a coordinator for a continuing program?

UNITED CHURCH WOMEN OF CORONATION PRESBYTERY REPORT November 26, 27, 3013 Greetings Ladies, In order for me to effectively communicate with all of you, this report will consist of much more paper than I would like to use. With your cooperation in responding to the survey at the end, later information will be less paper. Please get your response to Adrine or I - quickly to help save a tree and time. FOR YOUR INFORMATION The Full Executive meeting of ANW Conference UCW was held in Okotoks on October 17-19/13. Our theme “Walk with Me” was supported by Rev. Lee Spice, with whom we shared stories; Rev. Sue Hertell led us through the Comprehensive Review process; Gisela Dyck shared about Healing Pathways; Margo Aftergood our Calgary hostess announced that the annual meeting will be at FCJ Christian Life Centre 219 19th Avenue SW on April 24 – 26, 2014. All are invited. More information will be available in February. Louise Rogers helped us look at the next 2 to 5 Years. Danielle Smith, the Honourable leader of the Opposition Party discussed her ideas of eliminating child poverty as the Child Well Being Initiative Report. It was difficult to see the devastation from the flood at the church and we stayed on the second floor at the motel as renovations were not completed on the main floor. The Morogoro Project from the 50th Anniversary received $270,000 by March 31, 2013. That helped 200 women to train, graduate and receive a health kit. Thank you, ladies. We can make a difference. Membership cards are available from President Donna Kruick. New Life Membership pins are available with the new crest.

Report to Coronation Presbytery from Conference Executive by Sue Hertell Meeting October 2-3/13 •Our President, Leigh Sinclair, led four discussions with our larger group about: approaching our work and each other with health and vitality oWhat is the WHY? of wanting to be together with people, with the United Church, at business meetings such as Conference Executive? Why do we come? What is the spark, the fire, the hearth that draws us to the circle? oWhat do you love to do in your community of faith but don’t get a chance to do because of the “must-do’s”? What would we give up in order to pick up this opportunity? oHow can we create an environment in which we are encouraged to experiment, and maybe even fail, as we seek to follow Gods call? oHow do we as leader in Conference circles best tap into the ideas and initiatives that are coming from our communities of faith? Result: better and deeper discussion, coupled with very meaningful worship led by Carolyn Woodall based on reflections about the Four Elements of God’s creation: earth, wind, fire and water. Reports: •from Presbyteries •past and present presidents of Conference •Executive Secretary – Lynn Maki •Financial and Budget •UCW •Intercultural ministries Presentations: Debbie Hubbard – the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and LIRR (Living Into Right Relations) •My name tag for Glad and Generous Hearts, with the four native colours from our crest, reflects the Executive’s commitment to support the March event in Edmonton •March 27-30/14 in Edmonton: Truth and Reconciliation event. Asked if we could support, including financially, the survivors who will attend that event? •Book: Speaking My Truth: Reflections on Reconciliation and Residential School (copies available at Glad and Generous Hearts) Don Dale: re the United Network for Justice and Peace in Palestine and Israel… shared a power point presentation… which I understood would be available to us in presbyteries… package has come to our pastoral charges this past week with information about this issue – invitation to study the Kairos Palestine document Cancelled the Conference Executive meeting scheduled for December 2013.
