Tatamagouche Centre is pleased to welcome Licensed Lay Worship Leaders (LLWL) returning to the Centre or discovering this sacred site for the first time! All LLWLs serving in the Maritimes are invited to join us in September. The goals of the LLWL Gathering are to provide LLWLs throughout the Maritimes with an opportunity to develop a sense of shared community and provide an opportunity to explore to increase leadership skills specifically identified by program participants.
