Befriending the Unknown: The Challenges and Gifts of Times of Transition
Star of the North Retreat Centre 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, CanadaMoving 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.

Life Chain
Life Chain is a peaceful pro-life demonstration in its 35th year in Canada. The very first Life Chain was held in 1987 by a group called 'Please Let Me Live Inc.' in Yuba City, California. Participants pray for an end to abortion and for those wounded by it while holding non-graphic signs with messages like "Abortion Kills Children" and "Jesus Forgives & Heals." Specific times and locations of the 375+ Life Chains across our nation will be listed on our website (lifechain.ca) later this summer. On the day of the event, those participating in Life Chain will stand at various predetermined intersections for one hour in quiet prayer, holding non-graphic signs with slogans like: “Abortion Kills Children,” “Abortion Hurts Women,” “Adoption: A Loving Option, and “Jesus Forgives & Heals.” The signs are distributed and collected by a local organizer. This organizer will direct participants and liaise with any law enforcement, business owners, or media. Please contact your local organizer if you have any questions or concerns. Alternatively, you may contact Life Chain Canada (1-800-730-5358, lifechain@campaignlifecoalition.com).
