You are invited to come celebrate what God is doing in our area at the 2018 Virtual Association Meetings. We will join together on June 2nd, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and afterwards enjoy a meal together. We anticipate a blessed time of reflection and decision making for the coming year.

DELEGATES:
Each church may have four delegates for the first fifty members (50), plus the pastor or pastors. For each additional twenty-five (25) members or fraction thereof, one more delegate can be added.
DOCKET:
A PDF Docket will be e-mailed to each pastor, church and registered delegate prior to the meetings. You are welcome to print a copy or view the digital copy on your mobile device during the meetings.
Communication
We are excited to announce that we have created some new ways for you to connect with each other and for us to keep you notified of what is going on within the BC Area as well as our denomination as a whole.
On the Prayer Calendar page, we will be uploading videos provided by our churches so that you are able to hear what is going on with your brothers and sisters and also how to pray for them more specifically. You can visit the prayer calendar page here: bcnabc.ca/prayer-calendar
We have also set up a twitter account so that you can receive direct updates and event notices. You can follow us @BCNABC – twitter.com/BCNABC
We have also set up a private page on Facebook which will allow pastors to connect and share praise and prayer requests within a more intimate online environment. Pastors can request to join that page here: www.facebook.com/groups/313537929166
Blessings and hope these tools are helpful for you!
NAB Triennial 2018
Join us in the beautiful river valley of Edmonton, Alberta, July 26–29 for Triennial 2018.
The theme of the 2018 Triennial is Shaped for Mission. Together we will explore and discover how God’s Spirit can and is shaping His church to join His mission in this world.
Shaw Conference Centre will host the NAB family as we gather together for Triennial 2018. Located in the heart of Edmonton, the Shaw Centre is within walking distance of a portion of the River Valley Park System, one of the largest urban park systems in Canada. It is also within easy reach of much of downtown Edmonton. Join us next July as NAB churches, missionaries, and partnering organizations gather to celebrate, reconnect, and attune our hearts as one to follow where God is leading us. Come to Edmonton for Triennial 2018 to be Shaped.
2018 Directory
The 2018 Directory is now available. Copies will be distributed at Pastor’s Conference next week, but if you would like a hard copy and do not have a pastor attending the conference, please contact Amy at bcbawebmanager@gmail.com to request a copy.
BC Women’s Retreat
Greetings BC NAB Churches,
We are excited to invite the ladies of your church to the 2018 BC NAB Ladies retreat at Rockridge Canyon April 27-29th, 2018.
Heidi McLaughlin from Trinity Baptist in Kelowna is being welcomed back as our speaker.
We are looking to provide a weekend of fun, fellowship and friends for ladies province wide. We understand some churches have the resources to co-oridinate their own ladies retreats but we are here to fill in the gaps. We hope to provide an option for women who are unable to attend those planned retreats or do not have other options.
We are hoping you will publicize the retreat with attached poster and brochure. We look forward to seeing carloads of ladies from your church in April!
In Christ,
BC Association of WMF

BC Association Pastor’s Conference 2018
Hi fellow pastors,
It is such a privilege to know that each year that goes by has been filled with opportunities to serve our Lord. Now it is time to get away and be refreshed and encouraged by your fellow servants. Our agenda is similar to last year with the exception of Wednesday. In the past we have had a short time of worship and communion followed by brunch at 10:30am. With travel plans, weather and church meetings, this part of our conference is usually not well attended. To allow you to leave a bit earlier, we will have a breakfast at 8:30am on Wednesday. This will allow you to get a good head start on your day.
See the 2018 Pastor’s Brochure for more details and register online today!
Blessings, Bob
