We have been exploring the 7 Sacred Teachings and their wisdom for us as followers of Christ.

We’ll talk about the Bear this week, who symbolizes courage.

Look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

On April 16, Bishop Stephen London welcomed the Rt Rev Dr Malayil Sabu Koshy Cherian, Bishop of the CSI Madhya Kerala Diocese, to the Diocese of Edmonton. 

The last Simple Supper before a summer break. 

(Please note that the Supper will take place on the second last Friday of the month, this month.)

St A's is in the second phase of installing acoustic panelling in the Lower Hall as there was still a lot of echo, reverberation and background noise in the space.  We have had a quote and awaiting a timeframe for the work to be completed.

Hopefully this will improve the sound quality for all who utilise the space.

If anyone is able to contribute to the cost of this upgrade in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.

We invite you to join us for a heartfelt gathering of remembrance and support as we honour experiences of pregnancy and infant loss, and remember the babies gone too soon.

This service is open to anyone who has been touched by pregnancy or infant loss, including parents of all genders, partners, family members, and friends.

This gentle, reflective service will include moments of remembrance, readings, and opportunities to honor your grief and those lives lost.

Whether your loss is recent or many years past, you are welcome to come as you are.

You are not alone. Together, we remember. Together, we heal.

If you wish, you may bring a photo, keepsake, or small item to place at our remembrance table.

Following the service, there will be an optional time for refreshments and conversation. Childcare will be provided.

All are welcome, no sign-up required, but if you want to let us know you’re planning to come, you can RSVP using the confidential form found here: https://forms.gle/v4zV1wcgAwaGs4vw9in  or contact the office.

Red Dress Day 2026, held every May 5th, is a National Day of remembrance and activism honouring the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirited People (MMIWG2S+). It began with the REDress Project, created by Métis artist Jaime Black in 2010. On this day, red dresses will be draped in trees, hanging from windows, pinned to jackets, worn as earrings and red hands painted across faces. People will be partaking in rallies and ceremonies to honour their loved ones, participating as allies and fighting for justice. - Amnesty International Canada
