When you walk into our church building, you get a warm feeling of home.

This is, in part, due to the work that has gone into decorating our spaces - Sanctuary, Foyer, KEL to name a few - making them warm, inviting, and Christmasy.  We are thankful to Lynn Judd and her team of merry elves for giving their time and talents to create an environment that welcomes us and helps us prepare for the season!    ~Deb

"What happens when people of different faiths pray together? According to Gandhi, prayer is a ‘longing of the soul.’ And when individual souls come together to pray—even when their languages or cultures or religions are different—they are longing for their God while also demonstrating peace, love, and unity with all of God’s children."  Traci Pedersen

We have been offered an opportunity to join in prayer for peace with the Calgary Interfaith Council.  It is something we CAN do.
