A quick overview of justice work\, and her background will lead us into a space of visioning and conversation.\n\nGrowth Animator National Initiative & Staff Welcome:\nExecutive Minister\, Treena Duncan will be introducing Scott Reynolds\, and sharing a bit about how the Growth Animator position aims to engage and encourage communities of faith within our region.\n\nRev. Scott Reynolds is now serving as the Growth Animator within the Pacific Mountain and Chinook Winds Regions.  Scott just finished serving for seven and a half years as the minister of the Irma-Viking/Kinsella Pastoral Charge in rural Alberta. Scott looks forward to walking with communities of faith as they discern how to best share the message of Jesus and live out Christ’s call to love God and love their neighbours. Scott has experience working with people of all ages\, in both team and solo ministry\, in both urban and rural contexts\, and in both Alberta and British Columbia. Scott believes that individuals and communities thrive when they are committed to spiritual practice\, and he will bring gifts of listening\, creativity\, visioning\, and discernment as he supports communities of faith within the two Regions as they seek to grow.\n\n\n\n\nPacific Mountain Region Town Hall\nFor those new to the region’s town hall practice\, all are warmly invited to join Executive Minister Treena Duncan for this monthly online gathering.
