Audrey Keeling
Years ago, we had a faithful, lovely member of our church family named Audrey Keeling that many remember. Audrey recently passed away on February 23 at the age of 98. She died peacefully, and was a joy to all who knew her. A service is planned to be held at St. Paul’s on March 19th at 11am. 

Ladies Fellowship?
ATTENTION LADIES! Are any of you interested in an evening Bible Study/fellowship group? The current, but negotiable plan is for it to be held every second week. Terry Berard has said she would love to get such a group started, and is willing to facilitate it for a few months. Our day time group is her “life line,” and she would like to see ladies who are working during the day, to have an opportunity for a similar experience in the evening. Our day time Ladies’ Group is currently held on Zoom, which actually works very well. If you are interested, please contact Terry at 780-420-0532 or tberard@interbaun.com or Pat Stretch at 780-453-3339, or gordonstretch733@gmail.com

Church Retreat - May 13-15, 2022
Our annual church retreat is being scheduled for May 13-15, 2022. Please contact Michelle if you are interested in helping out, hosting, or involved in making it happen! Our retreats are one of the ways that we build and maintain our sense of community and grow together in Christ.

Youth Retreat - May 20-23, 2022
Over the May Long weekend, the Youth are planning to participate in the Young Sojourners Youth Retreat at the Sorrento Centre. This is the week after the church retreat. The theme for the retreat, "Better Together," will be focusing on rebuilding the connections of our youth that have been altered from the pandemic. While details of the event are still in their planning stages, Young Sojourners retreats in the past have served to be amazing opportunities for youth from many Anglican dioceses to connect and form relationships that have led to lasting friendships.

Daily Morning Prayer
Please join us every day at 8am for morning prayer on Zoom, except Thursdays and Sundays. Every Thursday we will meet in person at St. Paul’s in the Chapel. For more information, please contact Myron or the office. The Zoom information is available on the website HERE. 

Youth and Kid’s Club 
Youth Group is for those in Grades 7 to 12. Led by our Youth Director, Abbi Harding, the youth meet most Sunday mornings during the service. There is a calendar already available for other activities that are planned for the upcoming year.
Because of the ongoing pandemic, our services sometimes happen online only as needs arise. Information for in-person or online services can be found on our NEWS page. If our services are happening online, the Children's Ministry will be available via Zoom. More information can be found HERE.
