I am the regional representative for the Deanery of North Vancouver. Thereare seven members consisting of five Anglican Churches and two Lutheran. They are: St John's, St Martins, St Catherine's, St Agnes, St Clements,Gloria Dei, and Mount Olivet.
A regional representative and the Priest/Pastor from each member Church meet once a month, usually on the second Thursday of the month at 7pm. The location varies as we try to share where the meetings are held amongst all seven churches
2015 marks the beginning of a re-visioning process for the Region whereby we are attempting to share resources among Church's that might be of interest to some or all. Examples are a Youth Minister and a Parish Nurse. In addition there are events ongoing at every Church and it is our hope to make sure that you, the member of St John's, are aware of them and have theopportunity to partake in them should you wish to do so. Some examples of these events are Advent and Lenten programs, EFM, Spiritual Development programs, pastoral care training. Two key words drive the Regional spirit, collaboration and Communication
We are hoping to develop a website which will inform your of these and many more events we hope to develop. Currently we have a blog which will give you a great deal more information:
