THU. Sept 12 – LANGUAGE CLUB

We are starting a new period from September 12 to October 10th. We need more volunteers to facilitate the conversations. English and French speakers needed. From 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm.

Thurs. Oct. 24 – The Effects of Social Media on Society, 7pm

Can social media be healthy? Joseph Vybihal, professor in the School of Computer Science at McGill and member of CMP, will speak on this topic, which is one of his areas of research at McGill (along with research on thinking machines). Location: The McConnell Engineering Building, 3480 Rue University. Registration required: https://forms.office.com/r/DqYjaGtZwB; room number to follow.

FRI.OCT.25 – SAT.OCT.26 – CMP RETREAT!

Join us for our first congregational retreat in several years! We will hold the retreat at the newly renovated Villa de Brome (where we had our last retreat several years ago) (villadebrome.com). Newer members of CMP are especially invited. The cost of accommodation will be paid by CMP, so participants will only need to pay for food (cost to be announced). There will be worship, fellowship, fun activities, and a few teaching sessions led by the Rev Jen Bourque (who has preached at CMP on a couple occasions). The Villa administration requests that about ten participants provide labour for about 2 ½ hours on Saturday afternoon, to assist them as they improve their ecological footprint. There will also be an option to stay over Saturday night (though if you choose this option you’ll have to pay for the extra night and provide your own breakfast Sunday morning). This is for all ages, and there are good play facilities for children. As there is accommodation for only 65 participants, please register soon! Further details will be provided to those who register. Earlier registration helps the planning team. To register click here.

Monday discussions, 8pm

Due to their popularity, we will offer several Monday Discussions by Zoom this Fall:

• Sept. 23: “Lessons in Leadership,” with Fiona Crossling, Sally Richmond, and Tim Keener. A valuable evening for anyone in any sort of leadership, or potential leadership, role, in church of society
• Oct. 21: “What would Jesus do about…Neo-liberalism?”, with Kenny Sheppard.

(A couple more to follow in November and early December.)
