BEING A SAFE PLACE, LETTING OTHERS KNOW
St. Augustine's has a long history of acknowledging human diversity in all its forms. We understand God's creativity is expressed in the differences between us. However, there are some groups that have not always been received well by the wider church, and past hurts make it very difficult for church to be a space of healing. In this spirit, it has made sense to make an overt statement of reception for LGBTQ2+ communities. Thanks to Lindsay Batke for helping spruce up the sticker design above. Production costs of these 50 "safe space" stickers have been covered so we are happy to share to you for free or to a local business or church. |
Save the DateWinter Festival - Saturday, December 11th ~ 6-8pm The Community Garden and our church are working together to create a neighbourhood Winter Festival. Please plan to come by! Kid's activities Warm beverage Bon fire and more! |
RECTOR'S DISCRETIONARY
We do sometimes have people pop by the office looking for help - usually for food. It is nice to have some grocery cards handy to give out. If you are at the grocery store and think to grab a $25 gift card I would be most happy to recieve it. Otherwise, donations to the "rector's discretionary" end up being offered in the same way. |
