One of the priority needs in our communities is a safe, radically welcoming environment in which to make genuine friendships. Congregations can easily address issues of isolation and loneliness through a few intentional practices.

This fall's Diocesan Synod is fast approaching, so it's nearly time to gather youth delegates for a bit of pre-Synod Orientation! 

We'll get started at the Board Room Game Cafe in downtown Halifax (here's where you'll find it!), play some games and have some snacks, and then head up to Dalhousie University to get a sense of where things will be happening for Synod. We'll wrap up at the Diocesan Centre (here) with a bit of a review of what's going to happen at Synod. 

The plan is to walk from the Board Room up to Dal and then to the Diocesan Centre, but we are happy to make alternate arrangements to make sure this event is as accessible to everyone as possible. Just get in touch with Allie at acolp@npseidiocese.ca or (902) 789 3481 to talk about how to best make that happen.

Many of you know her as Jane or Rev. Jane, but to me she's Gran and I want to wish her a very special Happy 80th Birthday . 

Gran has had many adventures in life including a 35 year nursing career only to retire and get her Masters in Divinity and join the Anglican Church as a minister for 23 years.  After retiring 3 times from ministry, she still loves to help out and do services whenever possible.  In addition to all of her efforts in the working world, she is a fantastic mother and the best Gran anyone could ever ask for.  I love joining her in adventures from Cape Breton to PEI and this year to The Big Apple. (But I'm still sour I couldn't go sky diving with her for her 75th birthday) 

Please join me in wishing my Gran a happy 80th Birthday on Saturday, September 17th, 2022 from 1pm-4pm at St. Alban's Anglican Church, 345 Pleasant Street, Dartmouth NS. Best wishes only. If you're unable to attend and wish to send along a story to share please email my mom at jena.clattenburg@hotmail.com.
