Some sights and sounds from Sunday’s Ministry Fayre as captured by Dean Ken Gray.

Thank you to all who came out over the weekend to support the Out of the Cold Benefit Concert! What fun was had!! 

ANGLICANISM 101 – LITURGY – Spent force or present blessing
Session ONE – October 2016

Thursday Oct 20, 1 p.m. in the Hall
Monday Oct 24, 7 p.m. in the Ruth Room (basement)

In this the first of a series of monthly gatherings, the Dean will lead a conversation and share experiences and reflection on Anglicans in worship, Anglicans who worship, Anglicans who love worship . . .

Not only at St. Paul’s, but in most Anglican churches, liturgical worship is the dominant drawing card and practice which keeps folks coming back. Our tradition, drawing heavily from Roman Catholic tradition but heavily influences by protested values and beliefs, is so very rich. The resource of tradition contributes theology, philosophy, rhetoric, poetry, scripture and sacramental practice to our worship. Our worship however requires constant renewal in order to be relevant, vital, inspirational, truthful and faithful. These two forces can mesh well, but create the energy for a lot of controversy, especially in the last three decades of Anglican debate and practice.

Come one, come all, and be part of this lively conversation. Share what you know, what you need to know, and possibly, influence the way we worship together here at St. Paul’s.

Out of the Cold Society is presenting a Benefit concert on Friday, October 21, 2016 at 7 pm at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola Street in Kamloops. Pokotillo Ukrainian dancers, Kamloops Choristers, unique gongs, as well as  saxophone, organ, piano solos and ensembles will be featured. Admission by donation at the door.

Did you catch CBC Daybreak’s coverage of the roof going up at the Cathedral? If you  missed it you can check it out online.

Sunday School started this week!! We had so much fun catching up, creating and preparing for the year. All are welcome: your children, grandchildren and friends – join us!!
Learn more about our program and/or register for Sunday School here. 

Come and see how our creative artists have responded creatively to the Season of Creation. And come on Sunday to hear about the science of climate change and how Anglicans and all people of faith can respond. It will be great to have our church school and youth programmes up and running again. Good music, good friends, lively faith.

Some fifty friends, family, theatre colleagues and cathedral parishioners gathered on the Saturday of the long weekend to surprise Rita Ploughman and celebrate her 90^th birthday with her.

Amidst all the fun and memories were entertaining stories about entertainment, stories from family life, and testimonies to Rita’s influence on the lives of so many in community and church.
