Our musical equipment includes a Rodgers Model 441 electric organ in the church and a Roland HP 203 Digital Piano and audio-video facilities in our hall.

A really neat Website
for youth and youth leaders
Just generation is the official youth website of the Primates World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF). It is a site for Christian youth (16-30) who want to get active in the struggle for just development and is made up of youth and young adults from across Canada.
Here is a site packed with great information, resources, articles, and news reports related to local and global social and eco justice issues. There are suggestions and opportunities to get young people involved and this site is updated often.
And that's not all... via a link from the site, youth can access a weekly pod cast"The Looking Glass" -- 30-minutes of faith filled justice-talk and new tunes. It engages with artists, thinkers, theologians, musicians, and local and global activists concerning issues of development, justice, peace, the environment, pop culture and Christian spirituality.
Consultation 2009 survey
What Do We Seek?
Say What You Think About Finances and Ministry in our Diocese
How should we use money?
Last June, Diocesan Council discussed allotment rate and other financial factors, and made cuts of about $100,000 in ministry from the 2010 diocesan budget.
Council has asked for input from Anglicans all over the Diocese before thinking about budgets and ministry for 2011 and beyond.
Your opportunity to have a say as an active Anglican comes in the form of a survey. You can comment on the importance of the various central ministries, and offer suggestions. Your Rector or Priest-in-Charge will have copies, or print one out here: [pdf] [Word].
The deadline is December 31st, 2009.

Christmas Shoe Box Campaign
This year we are looking for Men’s Items Only. Due to last year’s quotas, we do not require any Women’s Items this year.
Each year during the holiday season the Mission to Seafarers distributes gift boxes of much needed items to seafarers who arrive at the Port of Halifax. The Mission depends on the support of Churches and the Community. Many groups/individuals ask what to include in the shoe boxes. Here is a list to guide you: - Hat- Scarf- Mitts/Gloves- Socks- Personal Care Items, such as: - Soap- Deodorant- Shampoo- Shaving Cream- Disposable Razors- Tooth Brush- Tooth Paste- Hard Candy (no chocolate or cookies)- a small memento (optional)- Greeting Card (optional)
- Note Paper- Envelopes- Pen- Post Cards.
For the safety and security of the Mission to Seafarers and to protect prospective seafarers all Alcohol and Sharp Knives (Jack Knives, etc.) are prohibited by law. Please do not wrap the Shoe Boxes. The Christmas Wrap for the box can be folded and placed inside the box, if you wish. Once they are received by the Mission, each shoe box is then inspected and wrapped according to the Canadian Customs Procedures and Regulations. Shoe Boxes may be dropped off anytime between now and Christmas -- although it would be nice to have them by the mid December -- directly to the Mission at 844 Marginal Road, Halifax. Should you require additional information, please contact (902) 422-7790

Brass Impact
In a concert of music for brass band
Sunday, November 22, 2009
7:00 pm
Free Will Offering
Atlantic School of Theology is pleased to announce a series of concerts celebrating sacred music. The 2009/10 season features outstanding professional musicians from the region and beyond. As a leader in theological education, AST will be exploring the ways in which music and faith inform and enrich each other. Offering a new dimension in arts programming, each performance will reflect on themes of importance to religious thought and focus on the important but often unnoticed ways in which the arts and religious traditions intersect to contribute to and enrich our lives.
All performances take place on campus in the St. Columba Chapel, a venue that provides a wonderful acoustical experience in a warm and intimate environment.
The Mass for Organ--Friday, November 20--8:00 pm
The organ is well known today in its role in church music. The wider role of the organ still has roots in church music. This concert will explore, through the work of Haydn and Mozart, the close connection between the sacred and secular roles of the organ.
This first concert in the series features performances by the Chapel Choir of the University of King’s College, with Paul Halley, Organist and Director, and musicians from Symphony Nova Scotia. View the promotional poster online: http://www.astheology.ns.ca/UpcomingEvents.html.
Music at the Ends of the Ages--Tuesday, January 26--7:30 pm
The Quartet for the End of Time is one of the master works in the chamber music literature of the 20th Century. First performed on January 15, 1941, in Stalag VIIa in Görlitz, Germany, where Messiaen and his fellow musicians were being held as prisoners of war, the piece reflects the horror and fears of its time. To these realities it responds with an expression of the profound catholic faith that shapes all of Messiaen’s work.
Songs of Life and Death--Tuesday, February 16--7:30 pm
The centre-piece of this vocal recital will be the Pulitzer prize winning song cycle by Dominick Argento, “From the Diary of Virginia Woolf.” While not a religious figure, Woolf has been of interest to scholars of religion over recent years because of her probing of the themes of embodiment, suffering, and death.
The Inspiring Hymn--Tuesday, March 23--7:30 pm
For English composers of the 20th Century, the attempt to shape a genuinely English school of composition involved a reaching back into the period before England was described as a land without music. Especially important were the folk traditions of the British Isles, the polyphony of the Tudor period, and the work of Henry Purcell. Not surprisingly, sacred music, including hymnody, was an essential element of this extraordinarily rich period. This concert explores the impact of hymnody as a source for instrumental music by English composers in the mid 20th Century.
Tickets are available at the door 30 minutes prior to performances, and are available at very reasonable prices: adults $20, seniors $10, and students $5.
We would like to invite and encourage any whom might be visiting in the Annapolis/Digby area to join us in any of the following Services during the month of November 2009, at St. Edward the Confessor Anglican Church, 1650 Highway No 1, Clementsport, Annapolis County……

God is a Giver...Therefore we are Givers
We are made in the image of God. He is generous, therefore we are generous. This must be why it feels so good to be helpful and do nice things for others. When we are giving, we are reflecting the likeness of God. It is our basic nature to give of ourselves. The act of clinging to, worrying about, and protecting our worldly things is actually a very restricting and suffocating way to live. Sir Winston Churchill said it this way, "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."

Justice in Your Cup- A Coffee Producer’s Perspective
Come watch a new film about Guatemala entitled Madre Tierra, and hear from a Guatemalan coffee producer about the struggles and successes of fair trade.
WHEN?
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 7-8:30 pm, Just Us! Spring Garden Coffeehouse, 5896 Spring Garden Road, Halifax
Thursday, November 19, 2009 5-6:30 pm, Just Us! Wolfville Coffeehouse, 450 Main Street, Wolfville
WHO?
Mr. Herlindo Hernandez Pu is a coffee and macadamia nut farmer from the San Salvador Xolwitz cooperative in Retalhuleu, Guatemala. He is with the Campesino Committee of the Highlands (CCDA) in Guatemala.
WHAT?
A new film, Madre Tierra, highlights the work of the CCDA
For centuries, the distribution of land has been at the centre of Guatemala's violent story. Guatemala has the worst land distribution in the Americas, and campesino farmers struggling to feed their families are facing greater obstacles to gaining access to a plot of land. "Madre Tierra" follows one campesino organization, the Campesino Committee of the highlands (CCDA), as they push for getting land into the hands of campesino families.
