Below is a list of parish events that might be of interest to other members of the diocesan family. To have an event added to this listing, please send details to us at communications@anglican.nb.ca
Sunday, Sept. 27, 11 a.m. Parish of Saint Stephen’s annual outdoor worship and parish picnic at the Oak Bay Campground kitchen shelter. Bring a sweater and a potluck dish. Hot dogs and drinks will be provided. Note: No services at St. Peter’s or Christ Church that day.
Friday, Oct. 2, 7 p.m. During this Season of Creation, our former dean, Keith Joyce will visit the Cathedral to lead us in special celebrations of Celtic Eucharist.
A Celtic Eucharist is a simple, contemplative Christian communion service combining elements of (the) traditional liturgy with insights and imagery from the creation-centered Celtic devotional lineage. Such services are often held in the evening and foster quiet reflection, and ours will do just that!
Each service will be less than an hour long. And please feel especially invited if you are first-timers or curious at all about Celtic spirituality.
RSVPs are requested so that we know how many chairs to set out. Please contact Kurt Schmidt by email <k.schmidt@cccath.ca> or cell phone (506-259-3711).
