Water, Wind, Earth and Fire

September 2013 – May 2014 with Nancy Phillips. Join us in an exploration of the Christian practice of praying with the elements and learn how this practice can enliven our spiritual lives. Creation itself is a sacred text through which the presence of God is revealed to us.

Using study materials from Christine Valters Paintner’s book: Water, Wind, Earth and Fire: The Christian Practice of Praying with the Elements we will cultivate a more contemplative relationship to God through the natural world.

Fire: Fire of Illumination, Fire of Purification

November 19 (due to scheduling conflicts, this date has been changed from the regular second Tuesday of the month to the following Tuesday, November 19)

Sessions run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. For those who wish to come earlier, join us for a brown bag supper at 6 p.m. Coffee and tea provided.

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

Posted on October 30, 2013 by St. John’s Cathedral

Each winter, the congregation of St. John’s “decorates” our Charlie Brown tree with a variety of winter apparel. All of the clothing collected is then donated to a neighbourhood school (Machray School this year). The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree will appear in the narthex next Sunday and remain up until December 10.

Our Goal

We are invited to decorate the tree with hats, mittens, scarves and socks. Our goal for delivery to Machray School is mid-December. This special project is a tangible way for us to express our support of the schools in our community. Your willingness to participate in this Advent project will be greatly appreciated.

November 21-23:
Be a part of the conversation!

Trinity Institute’s 43rd National Theological Conference will take up the challenge of telling the story of Jesus today. The purposes of this year’s conference are:

To equip clergy and lay leaders to participate consciously, creatively, and faithfully in the ongoing evolution of the Christian faith
To gather and give voice to a diverse group of leading scholars and practitioners who are wrestling with how historic tenets of the faith address current realities
To discover fresh, compelling ways to speak the age-old story
