Dear Church Family,
I hope you are all well after a winter’s worth of snow! It took a while, but we are dug out now and the buses are back. The covid 19 numbers seem to be headed in the wrong direction right now and I expect that our province will likely have more restrictions in the days ahead.
I do want to point out that you are not alone even if you are isolated at home. Right now we are still connected through phone calls, letter writing, and in the virtual world. I would encourage you to reach out to others in our church family who might be feeling down or lonely. I have always experienced Augustana as a caring church family and now we are being tested on how to keep being that very thing.
May the peace of Christ bless you!
Pastor Marilyn

Stronger Together 2020: youth ministry during a pandemic - register by November 20
Stronger Together brings together youth and young adult leaders from Dioceses and Synods from across the country to build community, worship and learn about issues facing Youth Ministry. This year, we have moved our gathering online and it will take place from November 24-25. While we know meeting online can't replace an in-person gathering, we hope that more leaders will be able to participate this year because there will be no cost restraints. To find out more, please click here.
Stronger Together is an expression of the Full Communion relationship between the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and the Anglican Church of Canada. All Youth Leaders and Campus Ministers are welcome.
There is no cost for this event, but you will have to register by November 20, 2020 to participate. All sessions will be held online. Details on how to participate will be sent by email after we receive your registration.
If you can't make the sessions when they go live, they will be recorded and posted at a later time. Email Gretchen Peterson (gpeterson@elcic.ca) or Sheilagh McGlynn (smcglynn@national.anglican.ca) to let them know that you'd like to watch the recorded sessions at a later time or if you have any questions.
