Any parish members who have family photos, medals, or other memorabilia that could be included in the display are welcome to bring them for display on November 9.

2026 church calendars will be on sale before and after the 10:00 AM service for $10 each. If you do not attend service in-person or attend the 8:30 AM service, please contact Lisa Boulet at 403 399 2315 and she will get it to you.

Parish Council is looking for pictures and videos of Holy Cross events and gatherings, including of ministry activities, clubs, fundraisers, and generally anything that represents your experience at or with our church. The images will be used for in-house videos, newsletters, and outreach. All images will be vetted for individual security by asking for permission for their use. We will not keep the images that any subject objects to them being made public. Please email Grant Los (Parish Council Member) at grantlos57@gmail.com if you have any pictures you would like to share.

A memorial service for David Meriam will be held at Holy Cross on November 8 at 11:00 AM.

On the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month.

Candy Cane Tea & Bazaar – only one more week until the BIG DAY. Volunteers and donations are the key ingredients.

Sign up to volunteer on the poster outside the kitchen downstairs or talk to Linda and Margaret. Think about your donations. Arts and crafts, pickles and jellies, baking and deli delights – it’s time to get creative! Bring your donations to the church during on Monday, November 10 or Wednesday, November 12 between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM, Friday, November 14 from 1:00 PM to 5:30 PM, or on Saturday, November 15 beginning at 8:00 AM if you have fresh baking. Plan to share your abundance. There are a few posters on the narthex table to post around town. Even if you’re not here for the Tea and Bazaar – help us spread the word. Come and bring your family; come and bring your friends.

Next session is Thursday, November 20.

Schedule of book discussions: "The Letter Carrier" by Frencesca Giannone on November 20; "The Birthkeeper of Bethlehem" by Bridget Supple on December 18; "One Perfect Day" by Lauraine Snelling on January 15; "Frozen River" by Ariel Lawhorn on February 19.

For the club's first read, we explored "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah. The 560 page novel beautifully portrays the poignant journey of two sisters in war-torn, German occupied France, highlighting their struggles and resilience. It was an emotional and impactful read that we highly recommend to anyone. It will be released as a movie in 2027! There is a copy in the church library.

Respectfully submitted by Glynis McClary on behalf of the book club members.

The Quilters and Crafters meeti on Mondays at 1:00 PM in the Nickle room. Newcomers are welcome, even for just a visit.

Need a ride to church? We are aware that some members would love to attend services in person but are unable to because of lack of transportation. If you are in that position, we would like to offer you the chance to be driven to services by other parish members. Please contact the office and let Gloria know which service(s) you would like to attend, and we will try to arrange a driver for you. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex for anyone willing to drive others to church.

Join us on Wednesdays at 9:30 AM for Holy Communion or at 6:30 PM for Evening Prayer. 

This short service of Evening Prayer consists of scripture, reflection, and prayers. Everyone is welcome.

For more information, please contact Deacon Carol Tubman at ctubman@shaw.ca or call 403-630-9104.

All women are welcome to attend the meeting of the Anglican Church Women (ACW) following coffee hour after the 10:00 AM service. Enjoy fellowship and guest speakers! Speak to Lisa Boulet for more information or email her at holycrossacw@gmail.com
