Documents:
The documents associated with the general assembly were posted on the Home page.
We invite you to consult them before the meeting.
Participation:
In a videoconference, only one person can speak at a time, otherwise it's cacophony. Listening is essential.
On item "News from local communities", community leaders are invited to report. Then everyone will be able to express themselves, even those who are not part of a community.
After the short break, more "administrative" items will be discussed, for those interested in continuing the meeting.
The assembly will be held in English and French, with translation. It is open to anyone with a Faith and Sharing heart.
Thank you Lord!
For this technology which allows people to come together at a distance,
and for the grace of Faith and Sharing!

Message of August 10, 2020:
The pandemic makes it difficult to hold face to face meetings.
However, Faith and Sharing is still alive, and the General Assembly is an opportunity to keep the flame burning.
More than an administrative meeting, the General Assembly is an opportunity to share what we are experiencing in our Faith and Sharing communities, or what we cannot experience because of the pandemic.
Exceptionally, the 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Faith and Sharing Federation will be held by "Zoom videoconference".
It will take place on Thursday, September 10, starting at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time = 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time = 8:00 p.m. Atlantic Time.
With Zoom, you can join the videoconference by internet or by regular phone.
By internet, it's free.
By phone, this is considered a long distance call, so charges may apply if you do not have a long distance plan.
If you have never used Zoom, we can send you instructions.
Also, it would be important to perform at least one test before the general meeting.
If you have an interest in participating in the videoconference, please contact Claire Donovan:
.
Also, for community leaders who cannot participate, we would like to invite you to send a report to be read at the assembly.
To know the agenda: 
Agenda General Assembly 2020
In the first part of the assembly, sharing "news from local communities" will take place and allow members to have their say.
After the break, more "administrative" points will be discussed, for those interested.
The assembly will be held in English and French, with translation.
It is open to anyone with a Faith and Sharing heart.
May Jesus continue to guide our Faith and Sharing communities...
