Zacchaeus seeks to catch a glimpse of Jesus.  With human obstacles like his shortness, the crowd and his profession, Jesus seeks and finds Zacchaeus.  Jesus is seeking us even as we seek Jesus.  As we come to the Lord’s table we remember Jesus said: ‘Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.’  Come this week with anticipation.  How will dining with Jesus change us?

Look at this happy, thoughtful and faithful group.  You can sense the peace as you look into their eyes.   These are some of our St. Andrew’s Christian Meditation members, and on this day they set out to Fish Creek Park.  They, and all of St. Andrew’s, are grateful for the leadership of Ken & Sharon Burrill, and the opportunity they provide for people to ‘Be still and know that God is God’.   ~ Deb

Here are some of the reflections written by Linda Humphreys:

It was a beautiful morning as we gathered in a secluded area of Fish Creek Park for a morning of sharing, sunshine and meditation. After catching up on travels and life events, we settled in and shared short readings from An Introduction to Christian Mediation. Bundled up and comfortable, we then spent 25 minutes in silent meditation. The gentle breeze, warm sun, and cacophony of birds created a wonderful environment for opening our hearts and senses to the spirit of God.

Everyone is invited to an evening of film viewing, refreshments and discussion, hosted by the Rainbow Team.

When: Friday, Nov 21
Time: 7:00 pm
Where: St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church
Film: 1946 - The mistranslation that shifted culture
RSVP: rainbowteam@standrewscalgary.ca

Each year, students from The Presbyterian College travel to Cuba for encounters with the church and culture of that beautiful country. We also invite external participants from across Canada to join us.
Through meetings with seminary students, community leaders, and community organizations we discover what it means for the church in Cuba to be engaged in mission. Through explorations of music, nature, and fine arts, we also discover something of the unique history, identity, and culture of the Cuban people.
Consider joining us for this dynamic week of encounter and growth. 
The trip will take place from March 1-8, 2026, and the application deadline is in December of this year.
