Wondering about ways to look after your neighbourhood? Edmonton’s Neighbourhood Watch program could be just the thing you are looking for. Did you know that just by increasing your awareness of issues you can make a difference in the crime rates in your neighbourhood! Please visit https://enwatch.ca/ for more information, programs and ways to help.
Save the date: Keep the evening of March 1 free for our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. More information will be available later this month. We are hoping for an in-person event, and you will have many options to make it fun and connect with our church family.
Don’t forget! We are looking forward to our CHURCH RETREAT May 13-15, 2022. If you would like to be involved in hosting the weekend, please let us know. We are also accepting ideas for themes to cover and activities to host.
