This page is dedicated to the 85th Annual Meeting of Maritime Conference of The United Church of Canada, held in Sackville, New Brunswick on May 27 - 30, 2010.
The new President, Ruth Gamble, was installed at the conclusion of the Sunday morning Service of Worship and Holy Communion on May 30, 2010.
As time goes by, information from the Annual Meeting will be posted here. Please continue to look for new items during the week or so following the Annual Meeting. More recent items will be added at the top of the page.
It is very late coming, but you still might enjoy watching a slide show of photos from the 85th Annual Meeting. Particularly, near the end of the slide show there is a group of photos celebrating Catherine Gaw's 15 years as Executive Secretary. It is a large file and will take about a minute to download on high speed Internet service.
