BIBLE STUDIES

Click here to rsvp


The unifying theme for all of our studies at All Saints this year is Relationships.

So in that vein, the book we will begin discussing on November 3rd is called Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People by Nadia Bolz-Weber.

The book can be purchased from most book retailers or there are a few copies available at the library. This will be a seven week study, online (Zoom) and in-person.

Please contact Erin or the office to register.

Please note:  Sessions are on hold and will resume November 30 at 7:00 pm

LOCAL MISSION WORK

Help Ukrainian Refugees in Calgary!....
 COULD YOU HOST A UKRAINIAN FAMILY?
Hosts for Ukrainian evacuees are desperately needed! If you can open your home, there are evacuees coming in June that will need temporary accommodation. A host can offer a room or rooms in their home for a family to stay until they are ready to move into their own accommodation. SWARM can help put you in contact with a family, through St Vladimir’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Ukrainian Humanitarian Aid - and SWARM will help support you and the newcomers through the process. 
You can go straight to https://stvlads.com/housingforrefugees
Or you can call a SWARM member or email for information at calgaryswarm@gmail.com
Check out the info about SWARM and how you can help.
