FAITH ENRICHMENT GATHERING Saturday November 26, 10:00 Saskatchewan Time (CST)
- THE SEED -
Everyone is cordially invited to gather next Saturday morning for a time of reflection,
song, prayer, meditation and sharing on the theme of "The Seed",
the second session on the Parable of the Sower.
You are invited to bring along a small bag of seeds with you for a special meditation.
It can be a seed packet, an envelope of your harvested seeds,
and if you don't have any at all, open your kitchen cupboard and grab a
small amount of mustard, caraway, coriander, sesame seeds, etc.
We have a special guest who will be helping us deepen our reflection on
the innate energy and life of the seed, and that is our own
Hélène Chénard from Moose Jaw, who is a Certified Clinical Herbologist.
Thank you Hélène for sharing your experiences with plants both on a healing and a spiritual dimension.
those who want a written resource to follow.
We hope to see you there as we are pretty sure you will enjoy the program,
and the pleasure of gathering together on this eve of Advent 2022.
Hope to see you there!

“I’m absolutely convinced that nothing can separate us from Creator’s eternal love – nothing living or dead, nothing angelic or demonic, nothing present or to come, nothing high or low, nothing thinkable or unthinkable – absolutely nothing in all creation can get between us and God’s great love because of the way that Jesus, the Christ, has embraced us.” Romans 8:38-39.
With
sure and certain hope in Christ Jesus who died on the cross and was
raise from death, the first fruits of all who have fallen asleep, we
hold in sacred memory our loved ones who have gone before us to your
Eternal Embrace. May their memory be a blessing.

the form below, please type and submit the names
of your loved ones who have gone before us into the Eternal Embrace:
