MAUNDY THURSDAY SERVICE - Thursday, April 2 at 7:30pm
Maundy Thursday is the day when we are reminded of the new covenant that Jesus gave to the disciples and the night when the Lord's Supper was first shared. It is also the night that leads us towards the darkest day of Holy Week -- Good Friday.
As part of our Maundy Thursday service, we will share in the sacrament of Holy Communion together. All are welcome to this sacred time of worship and reflection as we journey towards the cross. Join us in person or online.
GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE - Friday, April 3 at 10:30am

SURRENDER TO LOVE: DISCOVERING THE HEART OF CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALITY by Dr. David G Benner (Depth Psychologist, Transformational Coach, Author)- A 5-WEEK BOOK STUDY - Wednesdays, April 15 – May 13
“Christian Spirituality is taking on the mind and heart of Christ as we recognize Christ as the deepest truth of our being. It is actualizing the Christ who is in us. It is becoming fully and deeply human. It is experiencing and responding to the world through the mind and heart of God as we align ourselves with God’s transformational agenda of making all things new in Christ.” (From the introduction)
“This book is about love – not the soft, sentimental kind but the strong, spirit-transforming kind. It is about the paradoxical ways we often fear love and the way love uniquely offers release from our deepest fears. It is about the consequences of building the spiritual journey around anything else than surrender to love. And it is about knowing ourselves to be deeply loved by God as the first step in becoming genuinely great lovers of others and God.
But because this book is about love, it is also about surrender and spirituality. Love invites surrender, and surrender is at the core of spirituality. The interweaving of love, surrender and spirituality flows out of both the nature of love and the nature of human beings.” (from the preface).
Intrigued? Fascinated? Plan to join us! For any questions or more info, speak to Dr. Harris.

The presentation will also cover the current caregiving landscape in Ontario.

ARMOUR HEIGHTS BOOK CLUB "Encampment" by Maggie Helwig- Tuesday, April 28 | 7:30pm Online via Zoom
An activist priest provides sanctuary for an encampment of unhoused people in her churchyard.
The housing crisis plaguing major urban centres has sent countless people into the streets. In spring 2022, some of them found their way to the yard beside the Anglican church in Toronto’s Kensington Market, where Maggie Helwig is the priest. They pitched tents, formed an encampment, and settled in. Known as an outspoken social justice activist, Helwig has spent the last three years getting to know the residents and fighting tooth and nail to allow them to stay, battling various authorities that want to clear the yard and keep the results of the housing crisis out of sight and out of mind.
Encampment tells the story of Helwig’s life-long activism as preparation for her fight to keep her churchyard open to people needing a home. More importantly, it introduces us to the Artist, to Jeff, and to Robin: their lives, their challenges, their humanity. It confronts our society’s callousness in allowing so many to go unhoused and demands, by bringing their stories to the fore, that we begin to respond with compassion and grace.
Whether you will have read the book or not, join us for the discussion Tuesday, April 28 at 7:30pm online via zoom. If you need assistance getting a copy of the book, speak to Erin Stone.

Milk Bags Into Mats & Egg Cartons for the Food Bank!
We have just received an update from Gillian MacCausland that in 2023 we have collected 592! Each mat for an adult takes 500-700 bags. CLICK HERE or the button below to learn more about the program. If any youth or other participants might be interested in getting involved by sorting or counting bags, let us know!
We also collected 459 egg cartons in 2023! Visits to the food bank that we are sending the egg cartons to have gone from 4,000 families each month at the first part of the year, to 7,500 this summer. We also continue to collect bread tags. Thank you for keeping the food bank in good supply! Keep it up!
If you are also able to supply diapers, baby formula, feminine hygiene products, general personal care items (soaps, toothpastes, shampoos etc.) or any items that can take a chunk out of a limited budget, they would be gratefully received as the cost for these items continues to rise. If you have any questions, speak to Erin or Gillian.
Many thanks again to Gillian MacCausland for piloting this project that serves our community and our planet!
