This Sunday -Guest Speaker Rev Mathew Fillier

This week, guest preacher Rev. Matthew Fillier invites us to consider why it takes nothing less than the movement of celestial bodies on an astronomical scale to embrace our neighbour of all neighbours…the earth.

When we widen our circle of compassion to include creation itself as the center of our attention and compassion, then so much can shift towards the kind of relationship the Divine imagines for humanity.

Join us this Sunday, as the Gospel calls for A Total Eclipse of the Heart.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

Scotia Festival of Music is looking for billets for its annual Young Artist Program!

Ideal billeting locations would be in and around the Dalhousie Studley campus area, or on a convenient bus route.
