The Church of the Nativity, Sandy Cove
The Church of the Nativity, Sandy Cove
in the Parish of Digby Weymouth is looking for priests to come to the village this summer and live rent free in our rectory in return for celebrating the Eucharist every Sunday at 11:00 am. This invitation is made with the full knowledge and approval of Bishop Moxley and our Rector, the Rev Mel Malton.
Those coming would only have to feed themselves, reimburse us for long distance telephone calls and provide their own travel and recreation whilst they are here. In order to minimize the work between visitors, we would expect visitors to stay for at least two weeks. [read more - updated 1Feb12]

Parish Officers and Clergy:
We draw your attention to changes in wording by the Human Resources Advisory Subcommittee to the Diocesan Vacation Policy 2.1.12. While the policy has not changed, i.e. classification or entitlement, the revised text offers clarity specific to clergy vacation time. The policy is linked here for your quick reference: http://nspeidiocese.ca/diocese/policies/documents/2112-VacationPolicyFinal_2011.pdf

The Synod Office is beginning to receive advertisements for the purchase of palms and palm crosses for Palm Sunday. This is a reminder that wherever your parish orders from, now is the time to be thinking about doing so. Please DO NOT CALL THE SYNOD OFFICE. Since the closure of the Diocesan Book Room in 2008 we do not have the capacity to take orders. While we are not promoting one source over another, here are some suppliers you could contact:
- Churchwares Direct, Toronto, ON 1-800-668-7324

Coming this Summer from AST's Diploma in Youth Ministry program (no, you don't have to be in the program)
Engaging Youth in Worship
When: June 1 - 2, 2012
Where: Bedford United Church
Facilitator: Rick Gunn
Cost: $275
Summary: What do youth need on Sunday morning - Sleep? Sports practice? Worship? If we want them to choose worship, we all need to feel free to be who we are, and we need a vision of who we might become as Christians. Come explore ways of making church something youth need on Sunday morning.
This workshop is open to anyone (clergy, youth leaders, parishioners, organists and other worship musicians) who is interested to attend; you don't have to be a Diploma in Youth Ministry student.

Saints Alive at the Cathedral Welcomes All
Saints Alive returns in 2012 on the second Wednesday of the month, February 8, 2012, 2 – 4 pm in the Cathedral Church of All Saints, with special guest, Gail Godreau, Wellness Coach & Navigator and owner of Lighthouse Wellness Strategies.
Saints Alive at the Cathedral welcomes everyone from all parishes and there is no need even to be an Anglican! Saints Alive is a relaxed time of short devotion, program, hospitality and fellowship - the Cathedral would love to see friends attend who are not “regulars” at the Cathedral.
The February Saints Alive promises to be worthwhile - Gail comes as an engaging speaker to offer a program entitled Whole Life Wellness. This is a perfect time to refresh your own whole life wellness plans for 2012 and to consider the approaching Lenten Season. Plan on attending and bring along a friend or two. The program offers something for everyone. For further information contact Cynthia at cynthia.pilichos@ns.sympatico.ca or (902) 429-5945. See you on the 8th.
