Percy Marshall

We mourn with his wife, Pat Goddard, the loss of Percy Marshall earlier this week.  Percy had spent the last few years in long term care.  Pat attends the 8am service at St. A's.

Peace to you both.  May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Percy's memorial and reception will be June 12th, 11am at the church.

We will need some help with ushers for the service if you are able to help.

Why Rewild the Church?

Why Rewild the Church?

The first trees are in!

The first trees are in!

nuts and berries

The first trees are planted!

A mix of Beaked Hazelnut (one of our local hardy nut trees) and Northline Saskatoon trees have been planted surrounding the future labyrinth site on the side lands of the church.  The trees came from Prairie Hardy Tree nursery out near Two Hills, AB.  They came as single-stalk bare root stock and so are quite tiny now, but will each grow to be about 2m tall and 2m wide at maturity.  These trees were funded by the Christmas ornament fundraiser last year.

These plants were chosen to surround the labyrinth because their fan form creates good sightlines lower at their base (for safety in design) but, as their tops grow together, a sense of seclusion while people pray.

Bishop Steve Completes Second Year of Living Our Vows Program

Bishop Steve Completes Second Year of Living Our Vows Program

Bishop Stephen London has completed the second year of Living Our Vows, a three-year program for new bishops, sometimes referred to informally as “Baby Bishop School.” Consisting mainly of an annual one-week “residency” meeting in Virginia, the program is an initiative of the Episcopal Church and is a requirement for all new American bishops.

Bishop Steve’s program includes bishops from Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Ecuador. In his first year of study, he received an introduction to being a bishop that included courses on self-care and psychological well-being, the diocese as a system, as well as critical incident workshops. In the second year, the bishops moved into strategic planning focusing on the importance of creating a safe, welcoming space for people to be heard.

Bishops’ school students also work with a mentor throughout the program. Bishop Steve meets with Archbishop Colin Johnson once a month on Zoom. He says the opportunity to meet with Johnson, a retired Archbishop of Toronto and Moosonee, and Metropolitan of Ontario, who is currently Assistant Bishop of Niagara, is “a lifeline. He is someone with tons of experience and goodwill.” 

Next month, Archbishop Johnson will visit the Edmonton diocese to conduct an on-site visit and gain insight into how our synod office works. He has also offered to lead a seminar on the topic of Adaptive Change on Saturday, June 17, from 10 am to 3 pm, at Christ Church, 12116 - 102 Avenue NW, Edmonton.

Rummage & Bake Sale

There is a small pile of rummage building in the lower hall and a few folks around have asked, "Is St. Augustine's having a rummage sale?"  We have also considered combining this with a bake sale!!

We just need a date and a few folk to help lead the charge.

Interested? Please contact Cheryl at the office.
