A Message from the Altar Guild"The Altar Guild reminds everyone to not use the prayer book holders on the back of the pews as a place to dispose of garbage or store items. Every week we have to clean out used tissues - which is…well…yucky
 and other assorted bits and bobs. There is a garbage bin and recycling bin in the narthex. Much appreciated!

Bring Your Palm to ChurchIf anyone has a palm from last Palm Sunday, or even further back, residing in their home please bring it with you to be recycled into ash for our Ash Wednesday service. All palms welcome and much appreciated. |

Ash Wednesday Service at St A's - 14th February 2024 at 7pmPray for yourself. Pray for the world. Make for yourself a holy Lent. Join us Ash Wednesday, February 14th at St. Augustine's 7pm as we enter the season of Lent with the imposition of ashes. In this service we gather in God's name, we reflect on the call to live autentic lives, we recieve ashes marked in a cross on our forehead with the words, "you are dust, and to dust you shall return," we share in holy communion as we draw near to God.

DrumSpeak Workshop at Grace UnitedDrumSpeak Workshop, Saturday February 17 at 1pm: In honour of Black History Month, we have invited Chelsea’s drum teacher Reckie Lloyd with Sangea Academy to lead us in a workshop! DrumSpeak is a method of teaching music without speaking, this is a very fun way to get any group working together. The objective of the workshop is to get the entire group to create one voice with their drums while learning the history of West African rhythms. By the end of this workshop, participants will learn traditional songs, rhythms, and history. Register on the sheet at the back of the church on the narthex table, or by calling the church, by Thursday, February 15. There is room for up to 50 people to register and registration is open to anyone of any gender identity, age 10 and up. To help cover costs, there is a suggested contribution of $15/person (however, please pay what you can, or nothing at all). This event is hosted by Celebrating Women. We enjoyed this workshop so much in 2021 that we decided to open it to the entire congregation this time! Participants from St. Augustine’s Anglican Congregation are welcome too! |
