“Energy is building in Edmonton as we prepare to host We Declare,” says Brenda Tiessen-Wiens, moderator of MCA.

MCA’s Gathering 2022 planning team are members of First Mennonite Church Edmonton, which is MCA’s largest congregation. They each bring their own unique gifts and passions to their volunteer work on the committee.

“It’s been three years since we gathered in Abbotsford to ignite the imagination of the church,” says Paul Bergen, who is coordinating the planning team and organizing logistics for event tours. “In Edmonton, we’ll gather to reexamine what it means to tell the good news and to bear witness to the gospel of peace.”

Meet Brenda and other members of the MCA Gathering 2022 planning team in this invitational video and learn what you can expect at our nationwide event this summer. Registration opens April 13 at mennonitechurch.ca/gathering2022!
