Children of all ages are invited to join us for a fun and engaging time of learning, singing, and growing in faith. If you are interested in volunteering with Sunday School please talk to Abra after the service!

Sunday school will be held on February 22, March 15, and March 22.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of Alpha. Open our eyes to the friends, neighbours, and colleagues who are already drawing toward you, and give us the courage to extend a personal invitation on your behalf. Amen.

Wild Paths of Peace, written by Martha Jarvis, explores the unexpected hope of peacemaking at time of conflict in the world and in our personal lives. As the Anglican Communion’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Jarvis works to create partnerships between churches and UN teams as they respond to conflict, climate change and forced movement of people. Jarvis has also facilitated church-led peacemaking in South Sudan and Mozambique. Throughout it all, she’s seen nothing that compares to the power of people coming back together after conflict, and ultimately, coming back to faith through Jesus.

Father Thomas Gatluak is currently in the process of sponsoring his wife and children so that their family may be reunited in Canada after years of separation due to conflict and displacement.

Father Thomas has initiated a GoFundMe appeal to assist with one-time, upfront expenses only, including immigration application fees, required medical documentation, travel to Canada, and initial settlement needs.

Parishioners and friends are invited to hold the family in prayer, to share the appeal within their own networks, and, for those who feel able, to offer financial support.
