Communities are key. Coming together for a common cause is magic. I’m truly grateful to be part of this one and I know you will, too. For your mental health, your physical wealth and your spiritual journey. Join me and this awesome group every Wednesday for a gentle yoga+meditation class in Oakville at 7 PM. It’s $5 and it’s for everyone. AND we flow outside (weather permitting). What’s better than sunshine and a stretch? Hope to see you there. Message me if you have any questions! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 ...

This Sunday is Earth Day and we are going to Save the Planet (in our own small way!)

Bring your Plastic to Church! - see below

April 22, 2018 marks the 48th anniversary of Earth Day. This year, the theme is End Plastic Pollution.
Plastic pollution is one of the most important environmental problems that we face today. It impacts the environment and our health and wellbeing. We have all contributed to this problem – mostly unknowingly – and we must work to reduce and ultimately to End Plastic Pollution.

It is important to remember the connection between plastics and climate change. Climate change is one of the most pressing issues we face as a planet today. If other reasons to consume less plastic weren’t already enough to convince you to act, the fact that consuming plastic products exacerbates climate change should be an important reason to take personal responsibility and make a commitment to help End Plastic Pollution.

So, on Sunday, as an offering to our Mother Earth, bring an item of plastic which might include:
Plastic glass and cutlery, Plastic pen
Garbage bag, Dry cleaner bags
Take out food containers, Single use plastic bag
Plastic water bottle, Bubble wrap
Plastic straw, Saran Wrap
Single use sachet of ketchup, mustard etc Toothbrush
Disposable razor, Disposable BBQ , ... See MoreSee Less

Rev. Canon Michael Patterson, Rector

michael_patterson2

Michael believes that a parish community is called to make a difference in the neighbourhood in which it resides, to be a place of inclusion and justice where all are welcomed and hospitality is ‘radical’ (go ahead, ask him!). A parish is a place for people to gather and be in relationships and Michael truly believes that one does not necessarily need to believe to belong! That faith part we leave up to God’s Spirit!
