Lent begins soon and we will be entering a reflective time, but before Lent begins each year we let loose (just a bit) with our annual salute to French culture in South. Jazz music, a parade around the church, and good old New Orleans fun all combine in a unique Sunday Service. If you haven’t been to one, you really should. Join us, the service begins at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday February 14 and you are welcome to be with us.
Shrove Tuesday (Pancake and Chili day) is on Tuesday February 16 and we are hosting our annual pancake and chili dinner, featuring the award winning chili of Robert Henry and the fantastic panckes of Deb and the kitchen angels. Join us starting at 5 p.m. in the parish hall. $5 per person, $15 for a family. You can't beat that!
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent each year. There are two servcies on Ash Wednesday this year:
9:30 a.m. Imposition of Ashes and Holy Eucharist at the Lady Altar
7:30 p.m. Imposition of Ashes and Holy Eucharist at the High Altar
The People in Haiti need our continued prayers and gifts
Please remember the people in Haiti in your prayers:
those who have died
those who survived and mourn those still buried under the rubble those needing medical attention and those giving it, rescue and relief workers, government, church and community leaders.
The Anglican Church of Canada, through PWRDF and ACT (Action of Churches Together, an ecumenical rapid disaster response team) is participating in the relief efforts. An initial contribution of $15,000 has been made, more will be forthcoming as details become known. ACT has people on site and is well equipped and experienced in rescue and relief work as well as long-term development. Two of its workers are missing at this time and their building is badly damaged.
The Primate of Canada, Archbishop Fred Hiltz, urges Canadian Anglicans to give generously and whole-heartedly. Donations through Saint James can be made by placing an envelope marked Primates Fund on the collection plate, or by using one of the Primates Fund envelopes available at the back of the church. All individual donations to PWRDF, designated to Haiti, will be matched 1:1 by the Federal Government until February 12, 2010. Donations can also be made on line, via CanadaHelps Donate on line to Primates Fund: http://www.canadahelps.org

Living is a programme to help you get to grips with the reality of having less than you once had, or less than others seem to have. It's a tough challenge! Some of us at St James' Anglican Church have come together to learn how to face that challenge. We invite you to join us. Some people may also want to join us because they sense that they are wasting their resources and want to find out how to act more responsibly with what they have.
This popular program ran in the fall and is returning this winter. More details at:
