Abbotsford 2007 - Mennonite Church Canada Youth Assembly

Exhibit Hall

Several Mennonite boards, agencies, and educational institutions as well as other related Christians groups will have displays in the Exhibit Hall. Individual booths and exhibits will offer a variety of Christian service and education options, as well as interactive opportunities.

Small Group Time

Small groups will meet daily throughout the week– following morning worship at MEI and before late night activities at TWU. Small group times are intended to give youth groups an opportunity to reflect and share assembly experiences, raise questions, respond to challenges presented by speakers (during worship and seminars), and share intimately with each other as a youth group. Materials for small group times will be prepared as part of the Sponsor Handbook and will be sent to the contact sponsor of each registered youth group. Sponsors are responsible to facilitate small group times with their youth group.

Late Night

We will begin with an Ice Cream Social for all Assembly participants – adults, young adult, youth and children after evening worship on Tuesday at MEI. Late night activities will be held at TWU each evening.
