Parish Buildings and Grounds ConversationA Parish conversation on our Buildings and Grounds will be held at 2PM on Wednesday 29 January, as a follow-up to the discussion started at the Moving with the Winds of God retreat in November. All are welcome. Parishioners are encouraged to review the Parish Depreciation Report HERE and Bishop Anna's letter on the proposed sale of St. Dunstan's land HERE prior to the meeting. This is the beginning of a Parish conversation on this topic. Those who are unable to attend this discussion should note that there will be further opportunities for your involvement. |

Coffee and ConversationJoin us in the Narthex at 10am on Saturday February 1st for the next installment of Coffee and Conversation. Jeanette Muzio will talk about Weapons of Math Destruction. No knowledge of mathematics is needed but an interest in how decisions that affect our lives are being made not by humans but by machines. Many of the mathematical models being used are unregulated, incontestable, quite often wrong, and reinforce societal discrimination. Tea, coffee, muffins, cheese, crackers and fruit will be served.

Lunch DatePlan to participate in St. George's first "Lunch Dates" on Sundays February 2nd & 9th, 12noon - 2pm! Friendship often starts by sharing a meal. Here's an opportunity for you to sign up to be a host or a guest for lunch after church. We’ll match you up with friends, old and new! Our part is to sort through all the details and your part is to enjoy lunch together. Feel free to join in one day or both, as guest or host. CLICK HERE for the sign-up forms. Put your filled-out form(s) in the box in the narthex or drop at the office by Tuesday, January 28. Details will be emailed to you on the Friday before your lunch date. Any questions, call Marilyn Isaak at 604-308-0634. Image: IslandHopper X |
