Fellowship without Borders

On Saturday evening, convention attendees and local congregations came together for a night of “Fellowship Without Borders,” hosted by Lutheran Laymen’s League of Canada in the Hilton-Stevenson Ballroom.

The night market event invited attendees to explore places around the world with an LCC presence. Upon entering, attendees received a ‘Convention Passport’ in which to collect stamps from each of the destinations represented. Activities included a photo booth, trivia about the global church, a flower stand where attendees could write encouraging messages to send to Ukraine, and an audio station to hear and record Christian greetings in Oromo, French, Cree, and more.

The flavours of bubble tea, enchiladas, and spring rolls reflected places like the Philippines, Nicaragua, and Cambodia, where the church continues to grow.
