Annual Halloween Event at St A's

Annual Halloween Event at St A's

Thursday October 31st beginning at 5.30pm

On October 31st St A's will be holding their annual Halloween event .. bonfire, hot chocolate and trick or treat snacks!!

We are looking for donations of candy/chips and hot chocolate mix.  

We are also looking for anyone who is available to help out in the following capacities on the evening of Halloween:

1.   1 to 2 people to assist with set up and first shift of treat giving        (from 5.30 to 7pm)

2.   1 to 2 people to assist with second shift of treat giving and clean up (from 7 - 8.30pm)

 3.   A couple of people to assist with taking hot chocolate upstairs from the church kitchen

We are hoping both adults and younger church members will be available to volunteer; everyone is welcome to drop by and share the warmth of the bonfire and friendly companionship (plus indulge in a treat or two!!) if they have a minute.

Donations can be dropped at the church on any Sunday before either service or during coffee time following the 10am service - if you are not able to make this date/time please contact the church office by mail to make alternate arrangements.

If you are able to assist in a volunteer capacity please let the church office know, via email, or speak to June Greig.

Wednesday Night Sharing Circle

Wednesday Night Sharing Circle

On tap: "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time" by Marcus Borg

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.

 

GATHER ‘ROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE

GATHER ‘ROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE

Thursday afternoons 1.30pm - 2.45pm, via Zoom,beginning October 3, 2024

I am happy to tell you that “Gathering” is resuming Thursday, October 3rd .

You are invited to gather together and enjoy these informal afternoons with friends as we explore and
reflect on various aspects of our life of faith--and how this informs the choices we make as we
encounter the important issues of today’s world. We will begin with an examination of various
perspectives on spirituality and the environment.

Handouts will be out early each in the week to help bring a focus to our conversation.
So bring your coffee or tea or “whatever” and gather around our virtual kitchen table.

If you have any questions or want more information, e-mail me at wildrosie7@gmail.com.

Please feel free to invite a friend to join us via Zoom.

I am looking forward to seeing you all each week.
Anne
