During Lent in kid's church we will be talking about things we can do to build up and nurture our community and our world.

This Sunday, we are going to be making prayer beads together as we continue to explore the Lord’s Prayer and the many ways we pray.

Hope to see you there!

A simple healing service will be held on the 3rd Sunday of Lent (Mar 3) during the 10am service.  This is a familiar practice at St. Augustines that involves a simple litany of prayer and an invitation to receive anointing with oil.  You may come forward for yourself or on behalf of another as we ask God's presence, grace, and renewal.

We mark the season of Lent at St. Augustine’s with a quiet time of prayer and meditation.  

We invite you to join us as we prepare to move into Holy week

Where:   St. Augustine’s Church Lounge

When:  Saturday March 23 2024

We welcome Bishop Steve on May 19^th this year to celebrate Confirmation, Baptism, and Anglican Reception.

Confirmation for baptized people is a chance to receive a simple prayer that the Spirit be present and released in your life.  Confirmation is an adult reception of baptism and is associated with several sessions of preparation that cover our way of Christian life in the world.  In confirmation, the bishop lays hands on the head of each candidate and prays for them.  Jonathan would like to provide mentors for each candidate for confirmation to support them in prayer and conversation.

Baptism is our simple entry into Christian faith for people of any age who have not been baptized before.  As we receive baptism in water and in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and are marked with chrism (blessed, fragrant oil), we offer ourselves to receive the love and promises of God and to join the church as the family of faith.  Baptism is not about what we know, but about the direction we set ourselves towards in life.

Anglican Reception is by no means a requirement or even an encouragement for members of St. A’s.  However, sometimes we feel we want to ‘plant down’ and say we are ‘here.’

If any of these ceremonies catch your attention, please let Rev. Jonathan know.  Preparation for confirmation will begin in Lent and baptismal preparation in May.  Jonathan will need some confirmation mentors as well.

The Hanley Home Group welcomes you to join us weekly as we share lives,fellowship, and discussion on scripture, church topics, and anything else we find interesting!

These cold winter afternoons give us a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a relaxing time ofconversation with friends.

This session we will focus on a another one of Rev. Dr. BarbaraBrown Taylor’s well-known books. Holy Envy is filled with warmth and humour as Taylorrecounts her experiences of discovering the sacred in unexpected places while teaching the aWorld Religions course to undergraduates in rural Georgia. Her deep and reflective thoughtsreveal how God delights in confounding her expectations! We will also include material from other sources to add richness to our conversation.

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