Ash WednesdayWe enter Lent on Wed. March 5 at 5:00pm with a combined service of Holden Prayer with the Imposition of Ashes in a contemplative style. We gather to lament the many difficulties in our lives and in our world, and to reflect on the uncertainty and frailty of human life alongside the freedom we know in God's great love. Join us for this time of prayerful reflection. |

Wonderful Wednesdays: What do you believe?What Do You Believe? There is the story of Charles Blondin, a tightrope walker who asked a crowd if they believed he could safely walk a wheelbarrow across Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Most of the crowd said they did believe he could do this. Then he asked who was willing to get in the wheelbarrow. For these three weeks we will explore what it is that we actually, personally believe. Questions like do you believe in miracles, and if so, what do they look like? Who, really, is God? What parts of the Bible do you believe? What happens when we die? Is there a heaven and if so, what is the entrance exam? And many more. No right answers, no wrong questions. We are all on the journey. Come to any or all of the sessions. Hosted by The Ven. Eric Partridge March 12, 19, and 26, 2025 |

The team meets people wherever they are at in their journey and provides meaningful support to help individuals meet their goals as they chart their journey toward reduction and/or abstinence. https://www.umbrellasociety.ca/ The Social Justice and Outreach Team [SJOT] ask for your support and prayers in the month of February for the Umbrella Project that reaches out to our local community. |
