Diocesan Youth Kick-Off Day this Saturday!

In-between Times (2 Corinthians 5:7) - Saturday, September 26, 2020

In lieu of an autumn youth retreat, join us for a day of socially responsible fun.  Youth groups/bubbles (ages 11-17) will move from station to station, and explore what it means to be "in-between" - in-between the start and end of a pandemic, and in-between Jesus' victory on the cross and the final celebrations of that victory!
To register your youth group, or if you have any questions/concerns, please contact us at yigfton@gmail.com.

What have we learned?

What have we learned?

NB Anglican editor Gisele McKnight has launched a series called "What Have We Learned" regarding the past six months living under pandemic conditions.

The aim is for answers to encompass mostly church life and how that has affected you, but could also include personal epiphanies, mental health issues and the like. As long as they are relevant to your life as a Christian, we’re interested in hearing from you.

Please write economically and try to limit your answer to 300-400 words.

This series, assuming there is enough feedback, will be ongoing throughout the fall. The next deadline is Sept. 25.
Send to gmcknight@diofton.ca . Thank you!
