Kids Church Christmas Pageant Adult Helper Meeting

Are you able to help with the Christmas Pageant this December? - Sunday, November 24, 2024

Our Kids Christmas pageant will be happening December 22nd during the 10am service.

Please come to a meeting on November 24 during coffee hour if you are able to help with planning and rehearsals. We'll be rehearsing the first 3 Sundays in Decmeber during Kids Church time.

We have a pageant play that was shared by Joanne (thank you!) - it will be a good fit for our kids. I'm hoping we can assign some of the speaking roles at our meeting so the kids have lots of time to practice.

Look forward to seeing you!

Simone

Join the Rev. Helen Chan Bennett in the Death Cafe YEG! at St. Augustine’s Anglican Church – 'The Annex' @ St Augustine's Church,  6110 Fulton Road, Edmonton, December 20, at 7 pm.

Inspired by the IDEA Cafe, Cafe Lovers, Conscious Dying, and Socrates Cafe philosophies, we gather to have open and honest conversations about mortality, meaning, and what it means to live fully. Whether you are curious, fearful, or simply interested in sparking meaningful discussions, we invite you to join us for thought-provoking conversations and connections with like-minded individuals. Let's embrace the taboo and explore the inevitable together. Come join us! Please share this UPDATED FLIER with your parish community.

Synod enters Season of Pakitinâsowin

Synod enters Season of Pakitinâsowin

The family of parishes comprising the Diocese of Edmonton took another step forward in its journey of reconciliation and right relationship with the Indigenous peoples of Treaty 6 and Treaty 8, when, on October 19, the 69th Synod voted overwhelmingly to support changing Canon 5 on the Disestablishment of Parishes.

The Edmonton diocese is entering into a Season of Pakitinâsowin by acknowledging that “true richness comes only when you can give away unjust gains that were never really yours at all.” (Source: The Spirit of Pakitinâsowin: Reparations in the Diocese of Edmonton Introduction)

When a parish is disestablished, its property assets are allocated for ministry and mission through the Diocesan Development Fund. With the change to Canon 5, Synod must allocate a minimum of 10 per cent of the property assets of the disestablished parish to the Pakitinâsowin (Sacred Lodge) Fund for Reciprocity and Reparations, or successor Funds established by the Executive Council for reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.

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.
