About this Event

Discover a deeper purpose in your work and calling at Vocation, Work and Career: Navigating the Transitions of Life, a special conference hosted by Vista with Dr. Gordon Smith and Mark Buchanan. Together, we’ll explore how congregations can empower God’s people to embrace their daily work as sacred participation in the life and mission of Christ.

Join us Friday night at 7:00 as we re-examine our work—why it matters and how it expresses God’s goodness rather than human toil.

Then, on Saturday enter into rest with He Makes Me Lie Down: Sabbath as the Way of Vocation, discovering how Sabbath-keeping centers and renews our sense of calling.

Come be inspired, challenged, and refreshed as we rediscover work and rest as vital dimensions of the Christian life.

Pastors and ministry leaders you are invited to a small group coffee time with Mark and Gordon on Friday morning at 10am.

Saturday will also include break out sessions with local counsellor Elizabeth Scott and Spiritual Director Kenda Reimer.
