Sunday Worship (in person and online) - Creation Time
2023-09-10 10:00 - 11:00 UTC
The United Church of Canada introduced Creation Time in the Season of Pentecost in 2010. This is a time to realize and celebrate that we live within a miracle—life on the planet Earth, and that we are biologically and spiritually kin with all creation. Our vocation is to fall back in love with creation and to treat the planet, her biosystems, and creatures, as we treat our family.
Creation Time is celebrated each Sunday from September 10 – October 8, 2023.
At 10 am, either join us in person or watch the live stream on YouTube. (Just click the far right icon on our homepage, looks like a play button).

One-Day Retreat with Douglas E. Christie
2023-05-27 10:00 - 15:00 (America/Vancouver)
The Desert Within
at St. Andrew’s United Church.
Cost:$60
To register: contact Susan Cowan at tmsc@telus.net or 604-988-8835
What does it mean to enter the desert? To seek “the desert within”, that vast open space the Christian mystics experienced at the very ground of the soul where the human person encounters the divine? This retreat will draw upon the image of the desert (long important to both Jewish and Christian religious identities and central to the Christian mystical tradition) to consider what it might mean for us to incorporate silence, stillness, and solitude into our own spiritual practices. And to ask how such practices can help us recover a sense of hope and meaning in a world that too often feels devoid of both.

A long-time Merton scholar, Doug’s most recent book, The Insurmountable Darkness of Love: Mysticism, Loss and the Common Life (Oxford) was published in 2022. Doug is founding editor of the journal Spiritus.

Spirituality and Community in a Time of Loss
at St. Andrew’s United Church.
Admission by donation.
Merton scholar Doug Christie will examine the place of darkness in our lives and ask what it can mean for us to enter and inhabit this vast space of unknowing and discover there not simply bewilderment but something Thomas Merton called “the hidden ground of love.”
