Many who know of the great benefits of the program Ask & Imagine for our Youth have often said, “There ought to be Ask & Imagine for Adults especially if you expect us to support our young people”. You have been heard. Ask & Imagine for Adults premiers this spring, May 15 – 23, 2010. This is a great opportunity! The cost is only $600 (which includes travel, accommodations, food and amazing experiences).

For Lent, pray at your laptop

Anglican Church of Canada


February 17, 2010 - For Lent 2010, the Anglican Church of Canada is offering a simple online prayer space that will be updated throughout the season. The prayers are drawn from the Anglican Church of Canada's own prayer books, as well as those from ecumenical and full communion partners. They are paired with striking landscapes from around the world.

The intention is to offer a visual pause in the busy world of online text and to promote this season of reflection and repentance.

The Prayers for Lent 2010 resource launches today, Ash Wednesday, and will be updated each Monday and on special days leading up to Easter Sunday.

GENERAL NOTICES:

The Anglican Church of Canada

 

Join the big conversation before the big meeting

Anglican Church of Canada

February 23, 2010 - General Synod, the national meeting of the Anglican Church of Canada, is a big deal. It happens only once every three years. Over 300 delegates attend. Major decisions are made about the future of the church. General Synod 2010 is set to happen in Halifax, N.S. from June 3 to 11, 2010, and already Canadian Anglicans are kicking off the conversations online.

A specialized web forum has been set up for Canadian Anglicans to learn about and discuss the meeting's major topics. Called "Setting Sail: Conversations before General Synod 2010," this forum will feature articles on all the hot topics—Indigenous Ministries, human sexuality, governance changes, and more.

"Setting Sail" is only a conversation if you post your comments. So the General Synod Planning Committee invites you to read the articles, which will run every two weeks or so, and then note your thoughts and questions below. This will be a moderated forum that aims to hear a wide range of respectful voices.

Already Canon Barbara Burrows, the chair of the General Synod Planning Committee has written an introduction to the General Synod forum. She describes the upcoming meeting in Halifax and introduces the theme, "Feeling the Winds of God: charting a new course."

Be part of the prelude to this big meeting. Pray, learn the facts, and add your voice to these General Synod conversations.


ACW ANNUAL MEETING. The Anglican Church Women of Nova Scotia will soon be mailing out information regarding the upcoming Annual Meeting. If you received a Winter 2010 Newsletter of "Keeping in Touch...", then you should also receive that information.  If you do not receive the newsletter and would like more information about the Annual Meeting, contact Donna Parsons at donnaparsons@eastlink.ca.   The Nova Scotia ACW Board would like to have a contact in each parish.   If you are a woman and are an Anglican, then you ARE an Anglican Church Woman!

Empty Vessels Enough for All

A day to replenish the soul.

Of special interest to people committed to mission & justice

Camp Geddie, Merigomish, NS

March 20 9am to 4pm

A one day retreat/quiet day, an opportunity to engage in a day of prayer and reflection focusing on our call to love our neighbour, opening people engaged in the work of justice (Empty Vessels) to being filled, renewed spiritually.

This day of common worship and contemplative prayer is an opportunity for an encounter with God, "topping us up" spiritually.

There can be Enough for All when Jesus is present at the banquet, as the water is changed into wine, when we, as servants, are prepared spiritually to help complete the miracle of sharing in God's abundance.

Then, at the end of the day, as a community of people who call for Jubilee, we can eagerly “Go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord!”

The Chapel Choir of the University of King’s College

 

Presents the

St John Passion

by J S Bach

 

featuring Ensemble Regale

                                                          

directed by Paul Halley

 

 

Friday, March 19th, 7.30 PM, Lunenburg

Sunday, March 21st, 7:30 PM, Halifax

 

 

The Chapel Choir of the University of King's College, under the direction of five-time Grammy winner Paul Halley, will present J S Bach's magnificent St John Passion on Friday, March 19th at St John's Anglican Church, Lunenburg, and on Sunday, March 21st – Bach's birthday— at the Cathedral Church of All Saints, Halifax.  These performances will feature a line-up of stellar soloists, including Suzie LeBlanc, Sarah Myatt, Andrew Pickett, David Menzies, Martin Auclair and Bruce Fifer, as well as t he chamber orchestra Ensemble Regale, led by David Greenberg.

 

“The St John Passion is possibly Bach’s most intense and dramatic work.  He was clearly deeply moved by the texts, not only of the Gospel narration, but of the arias, chorales and choruses that comment on the unfolding events of the Passion.  The profound effect of these words on the composer resulted in music of enormous power and poignancy,” explains Paul Halley. The performance will be sung in German in order to retain the immediacy and dramatic impact of the text.

 

Halley will be conducting the performers from the harpsichord and says that he may make the presentation of the St John Passion an annual event.

 

Tickets for the Halifax concert can be purchased from the King’s Co-op Bookstore (902.422.1271 ext 261) and cost $35 (priority), $25 (general) and $15 (student). All proceeds from the concert, which is produced by Musique Royale, will be used to support the King’s College Chapel Choir Scholarship Fund. Patron tickets are also available at $75 for those who wish to make a special contribution to the fund; $40 of this amount will be tax-deductible as a charitable donation. Doors open at 6.45.

 

Tickets for the Lunenburg concert can be purchased from Fulton's Pharmacy in Lunenburg, or by calling 902.634.9994. Adults $25 and students $10 at the door.

 

Early booking for both concerts is recommended.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

 

KAIROS is truly grateful for the consistent and determined support of a great many individuals and organisations across Canada and around the world in the face of the turbulence associated with the CIDA cuts. KAIROS continues to steadfastly pursue avenues of opening communication and dialogue with Minister Bev Oda in order to negotiate a return of the funding so needed to support our global partners.

 

In the meantime, we’re getting our work back on track and we’re very pleased to offer you this resource for free download or print ordering:

 

 

KAIROS invites you to participate in a Carbon Fast for Lent. This year we’ve created a resource that offers suggestions on how to celebrate this holy season—a time to reflect on what fasting is all about and on how we can reduce our personal carbon footprint and advocate for social change.  This is part of our on-going Re-Energize campaign.
