Looking for two people to lead Soup Kitchen Team 5 After years of dedication to the Soup Kitchen, Kim and Scott are stepping back from their involvement to focus their efforts elsewhere. We are grateful for the time they have given us, and the commitment they continue to give to outreach efforts at Saint George’s. And so we have an opening for leadership of Team 5! Team 5’s volunteers are made up of a cheerful and experienced group from Bedford Baptist Church. We would like to have at least one, ideally two, parishioners from St George’s with the team to oversee the work of the soup kitchen during Team 5’s visits, and to be the liaison for the Parish Office. Team leaders arrive at 2pm to start the coffee and tea urns, and oversee preparations when volunteers arrive at 3pm, then report to the Parish Office after service is completed. Teams are scheduled to serve one Saturday every six weeks. If you’d like to have more information about what is involved, or to visit the soup kitchen sometime soon, please get in touch with Elisabeth in the Parish Office.
Trinity House Manager needed! It’s encouraging to have the Sextons’ roles filled. Now all we need is a House Manager for Trinity House! All suggestions and solicitations welcome. Please continue to pray for a successful outcome in helping fill this role. Contact Jane Mills ([email protected]) or John-Mark Dawson ([email protected]).

Sexton roles filled! Patris Zotaj, a parishioner of St Vlad’s and a resident of Trinity House who has been helping around the Parish for years, has agreed to take up the joint position of Sexton with Victoria Goddard (who is arriving later this month). Patris has been filling in already this month, and we are delighted to make him an official Sexton. We are also grateful to Linnea Fetter for her extra help maintaining security in the hall this month.

Please join us and invite your friends and family to attend as we join our fellow Christians in more than 170 countries around the world and 2,000 communities across Canada who will gather on the World Day of Prayer to pray and act in solidarity with the people of Egypt.

Epiphany Study: Faith, Hope and Poetry This is the season of Epiphany, the time in our church year when we focus on the mystery of God’s self-manifestation – on the Good News that “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
But what is “truth”, and how can we possibly know it? Is it accessible to reasoning alone? Or does imagination – and the arts that stimulate and give expression to imagination, such as poetry – have an essential role to play, without which our thinking becomes imbalanced and misses the mark?
This study group will seek answers by examining poems that span the history of English poetry, as they are opened up for us by the brilliantly insightful Anglican theologian, poet and musician, Malcolm Guite, in his book, Faith, Hope and Poetry.
This study is not just for lovers of poetry! It is also for those who have never been attracted to poetry because they find it intimidating, puzzling, or simply irrelevant.
We meet on Thursdays at 7:30 pm at the home of Barbara and Stan Armstrong, 1607 Edward Street, Halifax.
If you would like to participate, please contact them at [email protected], or phone 423-2177, and they will email you some introductory pages to read beforehand.
