We envision a moral and just society where all people have opportunities to love, learn, work, and play in inclusive communities, where the worth and unique value of each person is revealed and honored, and where we joyfully celebrate our humanity, spirituality and chosen lifestyle. To find out more please use the website, from which this information was taken. https://www.shekinahhomes.org/ During the month of July please join your Social Justice and Outreach Team (SJOT) by focusing your prayers and support towards the Shekinah Homes Society.

Altar Flowers
It is so nice to have flowers on our Altar again! Just a reminder that we would love to have donations for our flower fund so we can keep providing flowers, both for the Altar and so we can share them with parishioners after services. Please contact Sandra Moore 250-721-1920 if you wish to have a dedication in the bulletin. Donations to our general flower fund can be dropped in the collection plate at any time.
