The Manual Committee typically consists of six members. Currently, there are five appointed members.
What an honour it has been to serve The United Church of Canada as Moderator over the past three years. And what a Deep, Bold, and Daring time it has been. As we prepare to gather in Calgary and across the country to discern the work of the 45th General Council and elect our 45th Moderator, my prayers will be with the church that we might be faithful disciples in that work. This won’t be a play by play accounting of my activities – but a faithful reflection of what I’ve heard and learned along the way in my journey as your 44th Moderator.
The Moderator’s Advisory Committee (MAC) is a group of people from across the church who gathered to walk with the Moderator intentionally and prayerfully; we have spent the past three years praying for and providing advice, support and assistance as we could.
The General Council needs to elect and authorize members to serve on the General Council Executive which is accountable to the General Council.
The work of the General Council is dependent on various appointed and elected bodies serving on its behalf. The church is enriched by the participation of its members, sharing together their many and diverse gifts.
The Nominations Committee is called to identify and recommend for appointments to committees and other groups, individuals who exemplify the values and vision of the United Church of Canada, and to bring diverse perspectives and skills to the table. In this function, the Nominations Committee plays a vital role in the spiritual and organizational health of our denomination. So far this term, the Nominations Committee has recommended over 150 appointments with at least equal that number of recommendations still to be made prior to the August session of the 45th General Council.
Northern Spirit Regional Council includes all of Northern Alberta north of Hwy 13, the Peace Valley portion of Northern BC and the Northwest Territories. This vast geography makes Northern Spirit the largest geographical regional council; however, we also have the smallest number of Communities of Faith.

While challenges such as volunteer capacity and structural strain persist, PMRC remains a hopeful, faithful presence, preparing for a vibrant future.
