You are cordially invited to three reflections and conversations on the spiritual life. We will explore the Orthodox tradition’s understanding of the nature of scripture, sin, and salvation and think together about its implications for our life together.

FIRST SESSION: Sunday, September 12th, 4:30 – 7PM

TOPIC: Scripture, the word about the Word of God

WHERE: David Goa & Anna Altmann’s home

REGISTER YOUR INTEREST: Kindly let us know you will be attending. A light supper will be served. We would appreciate knowing how many to prepare for.

St. Herman Sobor has registered with a charity funds management group called "Canada Helps". This is an internet based organization that allows you to access any charity registered in their website and make a donation. The donations are made through secured credit card transactions and can be on e time or monthly recurring donations. (For more information see this week’s bulletin insert or the "pdf" provided on St. Herman’s website).

Our parish supports two teenagers in Ukraine, Ihor and Valeriy, through the Chalice organization. Some parishioners also sponsor children individually, and there are always children in need of sponsorship (www.chalice.ca). Recently MoneySense magazine gave Chalice its highest rating for international aid organizations in terms of overall charity efficiency, fundraising efficiency, governance and transparency, and reserve fund size. If anyone has print photographs showing parish life that we could send to Ihor and Valeriy in our next letters, please give them to Moira Calder. Thank you!

There will be a baby shower and baptism party for Rosanna's daughter Athyanas Elena Savoie on Sunday, Sept 12 at 3pm at Rose's house (call Rose or Roxanne for address). The first hour and a half will be shower oriented (the guys can hang out in the basement for the duration if they like). After that the baptism party portion will commence. If you have any questions or need directions please call Roxanne Isaac. Home (780) 452-4615 or Cell (780) 221-0881.

in numbers as well as in love and in the spirit. As we increase in numbers it becomes more difficult to be aware of those who are "shut in" at home or ill and in the hospital. Please assist our Parish Council and Pastors to be aware of these people. If you know of someone who is "shut in" or in hospital please call Audrey Ewanchuk (780) 435-3191 or Fr. Phillip (780) 288-9954 so that cards, flowers, or fruit baskets can be sent or personal visits can be made as requested. We all need to work together in prayer and action so that our love may bear fruit.

On the bulletin board is a list for names to be prayed for. Please add to the list your names prior to the Gospel reading at the Divine Liturgy. The names are commemorated at the proskomedia and the list will be copied and left at the back for those who want to take it home and pray for these people during the week.
