New Book: Finding God in the Mess

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

Church office shuffle

Thank you Rita!

Rita Yeo has asked to release her office work at St. A's (she reminded us it was always meant to be temporary).  We are so grateful Rita for all you have done over the last few years to help us get our financial systems in order after a move to a fully digital base of operations.  Every blessing in where you focus your energies next.

Looking for church depositing help and office support

Cheryl - our central office volunteer and treasurer is keen to cover off a few componets of Rita's work, however, we could use some help with the following:

1) weekly depositing (could be one or several people)

2) Occasional help for Cheryl when she is away to cover basic office processes, ppt production, and newsletter production.

Contact Rev. Crane rector@staugustinesedmonton.com
