Advent 2022 begins a little earlier this year on NOVEMBER 27th. These four Sundays before Christmas mark:
Advent is a season of serious spiritual work. I invite you to make church a priority in this time alongside your daily practice of prayer. You might make use of a prayer app like "Pray as you Go" or "Daily Prayer", and we will also be setting out paper copies of an advent daily prayer book in the narthex. As well, please make the following events a priority in your Advent spiritual process:

Rewilding update
As you may know, over the last year, a small steering group has been gathering input and developing a vision for the South side of our St. A's land along the theme of rewilding and developing outdoor sacred space. The group is intentionally a mix of Sunday morning folk and neighbourhood folk (many connected with the community garden). We were greatly aided by Rui, an architect who helped draw together some of the components that were arising and do up some presentation materials. There will be a simple presentation of where we are, Sunday, November 20, after the 10am service. We are also beginning to call out for help and build a community of support. If you are drawn to the project, please let us know how you'd like to help on this google form: https://forms.gle/pMeoEFDXgUVTQfJo7 For more infomation visit: |

L'Arche Community Christmas PageantHeld at St. Augustine's this year - Wednesday, December 14, 2022 Do you know about Edmonton's L'Arche Community? There are several L'Arche homes around Edmonton and Sherwood Park, but their Day Program and Offices reside in old Fulton School across the park from the church. This year St. A's is deeply honoured to be hosting their yearly Christmas pageant, December 14th, 7pm in the sanctuary. A little bit about L'Arche. From their website: "Known by many as the Shalom Community, L’Arche Edmonton is a not-for-profit association. Formed in 1972, L’Arche Edmonton became the second L’Arche community in Canada. We have a rich history, and continue to respond to the changing needs of our members. Mutual relationships and trust in God are at the heart of our journey. We currently have six L’Arche houses in Edmonton and Sherwood Park and a Day Program where people with and without disabilities live together. We have a Community Centre located in Fulton place where our Day Program administration team work and our community gatherings take place. We are a diverse and multicultural community, and we celebrate the unique gifts of each individual who chooses to live and work with us." Please be welcome to join in this special evening with our friends. For more infomation visit: http://staugustinesedmonton.com/events/larche-community-christmas-pageant/2022-12-14 |
