Please come join us for our 2026-2027 Ecumenical Prayer season. We will begin at Assumption Catholic Church (9034 95 Ave) this coming Sunday, Sept 20 at 7 p.m. with our Prayer for Creation. Heaven knows our planet and its inhabitants of all kinds could use our prayers! If you've never experienced prayer in the style of Taize, it combines beautiful, repetitive music that is designed to open our souls to God's presence, along with scripture and silence. Please join us if you can. |

Moving through times of change and transition is challenging. Transitions create much uncertainty and move us into a liminal space of the unknown. While uncomfortable, this in-between time invites us into inner growth. It is a place where we meet the divine. This retreat will explore how befriending the unknown in times of transition can lead to transformation both societal and personal. Through prayer, scripture, small group sharing and teaching we will explore together both the challenges and gifts that times of transition bring.
