Good news!   “Gathering” has resumed!!  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.  This fall we will using Bishop Mariann Budde’s book “How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith” to focus our time together.  I think Bishop Budde’s will lead us into some very interesting conversations.  We will also  include other topics of interest from time to time.

Handouts will be send out early each  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'm looking forward to seeing you all each week.

We welcome you to the first ACW-hosted concert of 2026! Throughout the year, the women of Good Shepherd Anglican Church reach out to local musicians, choirs, and artists to provide concerts for the whole community. Tickets are sold by donation, and can be purchased at the door on a first come-first served basis.

The Edmonton Interfaith Centre for Education and Action invites you to their inaugural Interfaith Breakfast with the Hon. Salma Lakhani, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.

It has been confirmed, with the painting contractor, that the kitchen and cabinets, inside and out, will be painted Wednesday and Thursday, February 4 &5 .

To prepare for this, we will need to empty all cupboards, drawers, and cabinets Sunday, February 1st, after coffee.   To accomplish this we are asking for as much help as possible.  Help will also be required to replace items on Sunday February 15th. 

Sandy, Rita and Randy will be coordinating this project - if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Randy will install the new light fixtures and bulletin board after painting is completed.

Panels were assembled on the church roof first, late November / December, as they needed to do this before the roof became slippery due to ice/snow.  

They had to finish other projects that had a grant deadline of the end of year so the annex panels and hook up were set back until January of this year.

On Tuesday, January 6th, the solar contractors had the power off at the church for the day to hook up the system.  From the 7th they have been working on the annex roof installing the remaining panels .. they have been working every day and hope to complete installation and have things up and running soon.

At the end of December Icon Elevator Company visited St Augustine's to explore ways of making the elevator doors easier to open .. as they are very heavy!!!

After attempting adjustments of the mechanism that opens / closes the door, which did not prove fruitful, it has been decided that a button, for automatic opening would be the best option. 

We are now awaiting a quote from the company and, hopefully, work will start soon on completing this much needed update to our current elevator system.

The office is open to callers on Monday andThursday mornings from 9am to 12pm (sometimes 1pm).

Phone messages are picked up on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

Email messages are picked up daily.

A light lunch will be provided.
