Dear Ontario Conference Pastors, Head Elders, Clerks, and Communication Leaders:

We want to thank you for your diligent efforts during the pandemic.

The Conference feels it is now time to resume church potlucks safely.

• Foods from households where one or more persons are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or where persons have tested positive should not be brought to the potluck, nor should the family attend.
• We discourage a lot of hand-to-food contacts; try to offer individually packaged items if possible.

It is important to utilize a team of servers to serve the food to attendees. We recommend that these persons:

• Should be wearing masks and gloves.
• Hold a current Food Handlers Certificate.

Please have plenty of hand sanitizer available and encourage everyone to sanitize their hands before eating or touching food.  Physical distancing should continue to be respected.

Concerning foot washing, more information will be forthcoming.

As you connect like Jesus, may grace and blessings be in your path,

Blessings,

• Mansfield Edwards (President)
• Jakov Bibulovic (Executive Secretary)
• Virene Meikle (Treasurer)

Attending the General Conference (GC) Session has been a family affair from my earliest childhood. A treasured family picture is of me, my mom and dad proudly representing Cote d’Ivoire in the parade of nations. My dad was working as treasurer of what was then called the Ivory Coast Mission. This year is the first time in a while that I haven’t attended in person. However, thanks to the amazing technology employed by the GC team, I’ve been able to feel a part of the 61st GC Session from home. As GC Undersecretary Moise J. F. Hensley Moorooven explained on day 1, as the first-ever hybrid GC session, it’s a history-making moment. It’s been amazing to see how the virtual space can give people all over the world access to educational business meetings, powerful worship services and incredible music from international artists. It has also added unique elements, like regular ANN recaps, virtual exhibit halls, networking lounges, Kahoot games with prizes and much more. If you haven’t gotten a chance to connect yet, it’s not too late!

Here are some important links for the GC, which is continuing through to this Sabbath, June 11.
