Soup and Bun Dinner for the COVID Public Memorial and Meal

On All Souls Day - 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 2, 2022

Dear friends,

You are invited to a public memorial rememberin

g all those we have lost during COVID. Many of us have had friends, colleagues, and family members who have died during the pandemic and who did not receive the mourning and ceremony a death requires in community.

We will address these realities, in community and in prayer, on All Souls Day - a traditional time of remembering those who have recently become our ancestors.

We will pray together and, by lighting a candle, or laying a stone, we will remember those who have died.

Following our time of prayer, all are welcome for a simple soup and bun supper in our lower hall.

COVID Public Memorial and Meal

Grandmothers of Alberta for a New Generation (GANG)

The GANG held another very successful fund raiser last Saturday and we would like to take this opportunity to thank St.A's for the on-going support and encouragement we receive from you, our parish family.

As many of you know, GANG is an acronym for Grandmothers of Alberta for a New Generation. Our main purpose is to raise funds to assist African Grandmothers who are raising their orphaned grandchildren whose parents have died from Aids. There are several GANG members in our congregation and we are all very active in various areas of this wonderful organization.

We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to hold our monthly meetings at St. A's and are grateful for the use of the many facilities the church provides . We also appreciate the financial support we receive in our many fundraising endeavours ( Fabric Sales, Scrabble events, Craft Markets, Pop up Sales etc. ) We are under the umbrella of the Stephen Lewis Foundation and if you would like to learn more about us or would like to become a member ,please go to our website at www.edmgrandmothers.org or speak to one of us,( Phyllis Molyneux, Betty Sparling, June Kohar Lauretta Howard)

Welcome Zoll AED to st. A's!

Medical events come unexpectedly

Having an AED available within a minute can increase recovery from a heart event by a huge amount.

We are happy to welcome to St. A's this new AED in the narthex by the elevator. If it is needed, the only instruction for use is: PUSH THE ON BUTTON AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.

There is a small screen that will show you what to do and how to do it. This version of the AED actually measures heart function and adjusts the needed program as required. The process always begins with CPR to get the heart moving until the heart is ready to be shocked.

A 5 minute instruction video is here: https://youtu.be/Mrhb52fR3p8

Watching it could help save the life of a fellow parishioner.
