Alongside Hope (formerly PWRDF) is our beloved Anglican charity that provides immediate humanitarian relief and long-term livelihood and sustainability. Many churches throughout our Dioces support this charity and have Alongside Hope parish reps. Could God be calling you to step into that role for St. Peter's? Consider attending an all-expense-paid conference this May to explore that possibility!
Parish reps from the dioceses of Calgary, Edmonton and Athabasca will gather at the beautiful Star of the North Retreat Centre near St. Albert, from Friday, May 22 to Sunday, May 24 (Victoria Day is May 18 this year, FYI), and organizers are opening registration to any interested persons in churches throughout the Diocese of Calgary. Please contact Diocesan Rep Lois Reid by email (loismmreid@gmail.com) to register, and connect with Rev. Bonnie or Rev. Rob to discuss and pray with you. Act soon, as space is limited!
