GATHERING AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLEA 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. Anne+

Additional Acoustic Panels for the Lower Hall
The church is exploring the idea of installing additional acoustic panels in the Lower Hall. This would aid in additional absorption of sound waves that would reduce echo, reverberation and background noise thus enhancing sound clarity in the space. We are starting talks with the persons who provided the panels in the sanctuary and hoping to get the project up and running in the very near future. |

Lenten Book Study on ZoomL Is for Lifestyle: Christian Living that Doesn't Cost the Earth - Tuesdays March 10 and 17, 2026 A is for Activism, B is for Bananas and C is for Creation: These are the opening three chapters of L is for Lifestyle: Christian Living That Doesn’t Cost the Earth. This book is a thoughtful, practical, and deeply biblical invitation to rethink how we live as Christians in a consumer-driven world. The author, Ruth Valerio, explores how small, intentional lifestyle choices—around food, money, possessions, and energy—can become acts of discipleship that honor both our neighbors and the planet. This Lenten book study is for those looking for meaningful discussion about stewardship, justice, and faithful living. It is also for those who want to live more simply—not out of fear, but out of love for God and creation. Join us at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10 and Tuesday March 17 on Zoom. Zoom link to follow in the next few weeks. This study is sponsored jointly by Holy Trinity, Edmonton, and the 5th Mark of Mission Committee. For more information, contact the Rev. Suzanne Oswald. |
