Join us for Talk and Tapas! Members of the Gloria Dei and St. Catherine's joint planning task force have developed a number of wide-ranging ideas for shared ministry in the Capilano area. Now they need your feedback, and want to hear what other ideas you might have - or could brainstorm over some appetizers and a beverage! This informal discussion between members of both congregations will help to shape new approaches that will take place over the summer and fall months, and pave the way for further proposals in the new year - so don't miss your chance to dream big about our shared future! (And don't miss out on some great eats, good company, and the opportunity to get to know each other better!)
Please save the late afternoon/early evening of Saturday, June 7 for what is sure to be a stimulating social evening. More details to follow soon!
Calling all cooks!
Please can you help make St Catherine’s first ever “Messy Church” a success by helping with our family meal? On Thursday 22nd May, we will be holding a Messy Church session between 5-6.30pm. This will include crafts, songs, Biblical story (Noah’s Ark theme) and dinner for St Catherine’s pre-school and their families.
Any hot dogs, hot dog buns, cookies (can be store bought) are most welcome. If you feel you can help serve the meal or help in the kitchen then that would be an added bonus but all help appreciated.
