A new prayer at the beginning of each week
First Sunday of Advent
We pray that God's coming into the days and years of our human history may be always new, always brimming with light to drive all darkness away. Make ready our hearts for your coming, O Lord, and receive our prayers in the name of the one who comes, our gracious Saviour, Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Roast Beef Dinner and Loonie Auction returns
"A resounding success" -- Huge thanks for the generosity of local merchants and individuals and for the support of our community friends
The Annual Roast Beef Dinner and Loonie Auction was completely SOLD OUT well before its return date on Monday, 16 October. Comments from those in attendance indicate that it was a delicious and fun evening. And a resounding success for the benefit of those in need in the local community and beyond.
We extend heartfelt thanks to all those businesses and individuals who provided auction items. And huge thanks to members of our local communities who attended. We hope you had a terrific time!
We extend very special thanks to Chef Doris and to The Buckhorn School Breakfast Programme Crew. We also want to convey our most sincere appreciation to Doug Pearson, the Man of the Hour as our Auctioneer.
Noon Day Prayers on 'Zoom' every Wednesday
Every Wednesday, mid-week and mid-day at noon, a group gathers virtually on Zoom for a few moments of prayer - about 15 minutes
- This time of prayer sets a few moments aside during the routine of the week
- It is simple and contemplative with moments of silence
- Anyone who wishes to join on Zoom is welcome
- It is also available on our Facebook Page
Every Wednesday at 12 Noon, 15 minutes of quiet, reflection, and prayer

Here are some of the projects and initiatives that we currently support -- updated for year-end 2023
A Journey in Learning and Discovery
By all reports: A very popular learning series
Christian Foundations -- A grounding for a Life of Faith
The Christian Foundations Series has been running each Thursday over the course of the fall season. About a third of the parish regular congregation have seized the opportunity to participate.
Feedback is extremely positive. "I'm learning a lot of new stuff and it's fun too," is a typical comment from participants.
The Christian Foundations Series is aimed at helping people to acquire a basic understanding of the Teachings of Jesus.
Enquire about future sessions: let us know.
