Ash Wednesday Service

Ash Wednesday Service

Wednesday, February 18th 2026 from at 7pm - 8pm

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day season of prayer and self-examination that prepares us for the events of Holy Week and Easter. This simple service of Eucharist and imposition of ashes reminds us both of our mortality and that we enter this desert time together as a community, trusting Jesus.

All are welcome to participate.

Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

GATHERING AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE

GATHERING AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE

A Zoom Event - Thursday afternoons 1.30pm - 2.45pm

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.

Awakening Your Purpose *REGISTER THIS WEEK*

Awakening Your Purpose *REGISTER THIS WEEK*

A conference to help deepen your discernment of God's call - Saturday, February 21, 2026

THIS IS YOUR FINAL WEEK TO REGISTER! Don't miss this opportunity.

Have you ever wondered about how God is calling you? Are you looking for ways to grow in your Christian life? Is the Holy Spirit nudging you to go deeper? We often hear about 'vocation' in relation to a call to ordained ministry, but it's much bigger than that! This conference is for everyone, whether you are looking for ways to refresh your life of discipleship, beginning to wonder about ordained ministry, or exploring any of the multitude of other ways to follow God more fully.

Register now for the Awakening Your Purpose one-day conference. We'll hear from inspiring lay leaders on how they live their sense of vocation, reflect prayerfully on discernment in the Christian life, and leave with new pathways to explore.

Saturday, Feb. 21, from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm at Good Shepherd, Edmonton (15495 Castle Downs Rd NW). Gather at 9:30 am for coffee, tea, and displays on spiritual and vocational formation opportunities. The program begins at 10.

We are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. (Ephesians 4:15-16)

Taking the Wild Paths of Peace - A Lent Devotional by the Anglican delegate to the UN

Taking the Wild Paths of Peace - A Lent Devotional by the Anglican delegate to the UN

Discover a path of peace amidst chaos, with Jesus as our guide - beginning Ash Wednesday (18th February 2026)

Wild Paths of Peace, written by Martha Jarvis, explores the unexpected hope of peacemaking at time of conflict in the world and in our personal lives. As the Anglican Communion’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Jarvis works to create partnerships between churches and UN teams as they respond to conflict, climate change and forced movement of people. Jarvis has also facilitated church-led peacemaking in South Sudan and Mozambique. Throughout it all, she’s seen nothing that compares to the power of people coming back together after conflict, and ultimately, coming back to faith through Jesus.

Bishop Stephen London to Lead Lenten Retreat

Bishop Stephen London to Lead Lenten Retreat

Cultivating the Heart: The Slow and Beautiful Journey to Maturity in Christ

Bishop Stephen is excited to be leading a Lenten retreat on his favourite subject: growing into maturity in Christ!

He writes: 

This is a retreat about the challenge of spiritual growth in Christ. The time together will be an extended reflection on Jesus’ words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (Jn 8:32) We know that the encounter with Jesus Christ sets us free. The Gospel is all about the transformation of the human heart. However, this healing is never simple or uncomplicated. Life is hard, and people struggle. This retreat won’t solve your problems; however, it will provide a framework and practices to understand what it means realistically to bring our whole selves to Christ.

Join him at the Providence Renewal Centre from Friday, February 27, to Sunday, March 1, 2026. Register here.
