First Nations neighbours on the journey of truth and reconciliation.

MONTHLY MISSION
Our special offering for the month of November is for St. John’s
House which supports the Sisters of St. John in our diocese.
From the Psalm This Week …
“…Unto thee lift I up mine eyes,
O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
Behold, even as the eyes of servants
look unto the hand of their masters,
and as the eyes of a maiden
unto the hand of her mistress,
even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God,
until he have mercy upon us.
Psalm 123:1-3 (BCP)
