Lent Study "Climate + Faith”
Through this series, we will explore how we can help meet the greatest challenge in human history. Each participant will receive a devotional booklet and access to various other resources on the web. Through exploring these resources, as well as biblical texts, accessible science, and practical wisdom, we will each create a custom-made, solution-oriented action plan for how WE PERSONALLY can participate in the Spirit’s movement for a clean, healthy world. We will meet either in-person or on Zoom to explore that week’s topic and help each other to develop our own plan for “walking the talk”. Come explore how our faith and the world’s great need can come together. Contact Rev. Roberta to learn more. (rfraser@stmaryskerrisdale.ca)
It will continue through to and including April 3rd.

June 7 is Spirit Sunday
Please bring non-perishable items for Pantry
On Spirit Sundays: we creatively cultivate space for us to listen to what the Spirit is saying to the church. This regularly leads us to explore different topics, spiritual practices, and liturgies. Then, together, we are emboldened to go out into the world where the Spirit is guiding us. While this is not a service focused on children, it is an intergenerational service that all generations can participate in.
June 17 is Seniors' Eucharist & Strawberry Tea
You are cordially invited to our Seniors' Eucharist and Strawberry Tea, which will take place on Wednesday June 17th. Celebrate the coming of summer with friends, familiar and new. The service is offered in person and online; afterwards, a tea will be held in the Parish Hall.
Please let the Parish Office know if you plan to attend in-person (office@stmaryskerrisdale.ca or 604-261-4228).
