Help Give Buyé Families Access to Medical Care

Help Give Buyé Families Access to Medical Care

Every year in September, the Diocese of Edmonton raises money to purchase medical cards for households in our partner diocese in Burundi

Each $5 we raise gives an adult and all children in their care access to medical care and 80% off medical bills for a year. Many of these households are led by grandmothers caring for orphaned grandchildren. They survive by subsistence farming and often can’t afford necessities. The Diocese of Buyé has identified access to medical cards as the most pressing need in the communities they serve. In 2025, we raised enough to provide life-changing medical care to 1451 households. Let’s keep it up!

You can donate in September at your church and on our website. There are no administration fees, so 100% of your gift goes directly to families in need.

Summer is our church Sabbath time.

The 8am services will resume in the autumn the Sunday after the Labor Day long weekend.

Liturgically, we are in "the Season after Pentecost": it is the time of the Spirit.
Where are you seeing God around you?  If you are adventuring, what new capacities are the challenges opening up in you?  Who are you meeting and how is the Spirit renewing you in relationship?

St A's is participating, once again, in preparing lunches for the Bissell Centre!

Our date is Sunday August 23rd 2026 .. Can You Help?

St A's is participating in the lunch programme run by the Sanctuary of Peace (formerly the Inner City Pastoral Mission) who provide an interdenominatonal Christian Ministry of Presence, guided by the Spirit of God and walk in partnership with Edmonton's Inner City Community.

This year we have been asked to provide 100 lunch bags and deliver them to the Bissell Centre on Sunday August 23rd (we are partnered with St Luke's who will also supply 100 lunch bags)!

If you are able to provide any of the items below please let the office know via email. If you are unable to purchase any items yourself but wish to provide a monetary donation to help obtain the listed items this would be most welcome.  June Greig has also compiled an in person sign up sheet for donating items in kind.

Donated food items can be delivered to the church or church office; monetary donations can be made via e transfer to office@staugustinesedmonton.com, via cheque dropped/posted into the office or the collection plate or via tithe.ly online.  Please do not hand money directly to an individual for donation purposes. 

We will also require volunteers to make up the lunchbags - if you are able to help on Saturday 22nd August at 10am in the Lower Hall, please let Cheryl in the office know. Volunteers to deliver our completed lunch bags to the Bissell Centre on the 23rd between 8.15 and 8.30am are also required.  If anyone is able to help in this capacity please let the office know as soon as possible via email at office@staugustinesedmonton.com. 

Perhaps some of the younger members of our church congregation might like to take part!!

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
