 Beginning September 1, the Day of Prayer for Creation, and running through October 4, the Feast of St. Francis (patron saint of ecology), Christians across the ecumenical spectrum are encouraged to join together in prayer for creation and environmental stewardship.

We follow this year some themes developed in our own Diocese: All Relations - Soil - Air - Fire - Water 

Season of Creation | Environmental Stewardship | Anglican Diocese of Edmonton

Thanks to Jodi H. and crew!  Jodi is fixing up the annex for its own sake, and also getting it ready for increased Music Together use this fall.  Don't know about the best kid's music program in the city?  Check out: https://www.musictogetheryeg.com/

The building is looking great!

Hot dogs and marshmallows provided.  Bring a lawn chair if you can and a dessert, salad, or beverage to share.

Sharing in circle has a long history of transformation and community strength in both indigenous and addictions recovery traditions.

Sharing in circle allows us both opportunity to listen, and when our turn arrives, to speak.

A topic is raised each Wednesday in the realms of Faith, Justice, Spirituality, and Action in the Christian tradition that we are invited to reflect on and share if we wish.

Rev. Jonathan usually facilitates the circle.  Please contact him for the zoom access: rector@staugustinesedmonton.com

We have used books, video, or individual presentations as our 'prompts' for the evening.

"Doors" open at 7:45pm, process begins at 8pm-9pm.  The zoom stays on until 9:30pm latest for those who want to chat more.

Coffee, tea, juice and goodies are served downstairs after the 10 am service. We look forward to seeing you there .. if you see someone sitting near you during the service, who you have never seen at our coffee hour, please encourage them to attend. 

A big thank you to our volunteers who prepare and serve the coffee each Sunday as well as providing the snacks.

A copy of the roster for those serving coffee each week is posted on the bulletin board by the kitchen. 

Please contact Loretta Howard if you are interesting in being included on the roster.

The Celebrating Women group at Grace United Church are planning to hold a Celebrating Women retreat on September 15-17 and would like to ask ladies from our parish to join them for the weekend.

Details are still to be determined, though it will likely involve events at Grace and in Edmonton; a more detailed schedule and theme will be available ready late August/early September.

The ladies of Grace would be delighted if some of us would like to attend and we could all get to know each other a bit more!
