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

As we continue our walk through Holy Week:

Maundy Thursday 6:30 pm- An Agape meal and liturgy. This is a pot luck community feast remembering the Commandment Jesus gave to love one another.

Good Friday 10 am- We hear the Passion Story of Jesus and meditate upon the cross upon which He was crucified. We reflect on the ways we too have abandoned Jesus in our lives.

Holy Saturday 8:30 pm- A Contemplative Fire meditation and reflection. We bring the first fire of Easter into our midst as Jesus shined a light into our darkeness. We sit in silence, we walk the labryrinth, we mediate upon the icons, we pray and listen.

Easter Sunday 8:30 and 10:00 am- Early time is a quiet reflective service and 10:00 is a wonderful musical celebration of Easter with orchestra, guest violinist protege's Royce Richert, and Lesley Ashworth and our traditioanl sing-a-long Halleluiah Chorus. ... 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!
