Why are grapes never lonely? Because they hang out in bunches!

We are starting our theme of Fruit of the Spirit this Sunday… Hope you can join us for some fruitful discussion. See you in Kids Church!

We are still in need of parent/adult helpers in the month of November and December. Parents, please consider joining us for a Sunday or two! No experience or preparation needed!

Envelopes with Financial Stewardship information will be available in the Narthax on Sunday 22nd October - please collect yours if you are attending in person.

For those who are not available to pick up their envelope it will be posted to you on Monday 23rd October.

Please fill in the Estimate of Giving form and return it in the stamped addressed envelope included in the package - even if none of your details, either personal or financial have changed, it is very helpful for cross reference for both 2024 budgeting and preparation/distribution of tax receipts.

Many thanks in advance.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all each week.

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.

Sheila Thompson and Eman from the Fulton neighborhood helped organize and test out an idea of a collective kitchen with residents of the new supportive housing building near Capilano skatepark.

For a small fee, 5 residents came this past Friday afternoon and joined in to help cook 3 meals, and package them up for their freezer.

Rev. Jonathan joined in to to help negotiate the kitchen and visit.

The idea is to organize similar events once a month to share cooking skills, and create some meals to carry through the weeks.

We will need a church host (two at most) to be present each event. If you are interested, let Rev. Jonathan know.

To that end, Bishop Steve is asking everyone in Edmonton diocese to please take a few minutes of your time to fill out THIS SURVEY on various possible opportunities for service in our diocesan family.
