Just in case, in my wildest dream, you have been closely following this blog and wonder where Part 3 of the (Re)gathering series on "the HOWs" is, I shared my ponderings during the Rector's Address at the Annual Vestry Meeting last Sunday, and you can find them by clicking THIS LINK or checking the Sermon page of the website.

Inspired by the Gospel text on the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ this Sunday, I was scouting out a nice trail in my new parish to seek a mountaintop experience this past week, only to discover that it is called the Fraser Valley for a reason.  The closest mountain top experience I found was outside the parish boundary across the river in Maple Ridge.  

2024 Palm Crosses: A reminder to return last year's palm crosses to St. Dunstan's THIS SUNDAY.  Please leave them in the basket in the Gathering Space.  There will be a short liturgy to turn last year's palm crosses to ashes at the FEASTING TO FASTING Shrove Tuesday event on March 4.

Feasting to Fasting: It is not too late to sign up on Sunday or REGISTER ONLINE for this year's Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. Experience a pancake feast like you have never before.  Bring your family and friends to our one-of-a-kind Shrove Tuesday Pancake supper and prepare yourself to enter the Season of Lent with fresh senses.  Hosted by the Centre for Spiritual Renewal @ St. Dunstan's.  Admission by donation for the Centre.
