Everyone is welcome to attend the following interfaith prayer gathering for peace in our homes:
Augustine United Church, 444 River, Sunday, April 25 @ 3:00 pm
Six Wednesdays with the Psalms
Not all the Psalms of course! But enough to get us into the most human and possibly the most spiritually fruitful, part of the Bible. This study begins on Wednesday, April 14th, through to May 19th from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Please let Don Ross know of your interest so that an order can be placed for an inexpensive guide – Spirituality of the Psalms by Walter Brueggemann.
Young Adults Group
Young Adults Group will gather TONIGHT at 6:30 pm for a pasta night in the kitchen. Gluten free pasta will be available. If you can, please bring a pasta sauce ingredient, such as a vegetable or cheese. Our next gathering will be April 25. All young adults in their 20s, 30s and beyond are welcome to attend. Please call Alison (284-2250) or Charissa (783-0919) if you have any questions.
