CommunityWise Resource Centre in Calgary
New Fall Schedule
Friends have decided to change the start time for Meeting for Worship to 10:00 AM, beginning Sunday, Nov 30. We hope this will become our regular time for worship, whether Friends are joining in person or on Zoom. Friends will take another month to explore Sunalta Community Hall and work through logistical questions there.
If you would like our Zoom link or to be added to our weekly email, please write to yycquakers@gmail.com.
The current plan (subject to minor changes) is:
Nov 16 & 23, 10:30 AM – Meeting for Worship at Sunalta Community Hall
Nov 25, 7:00 PM – Meeting for Worship for Business (regular Zoom link)
Nov 30 & Dec 7, 10:00 AM – Meeting for Worship at Sunalta Community Hall, Club Room (not yet confirmed)
Dec 14, 10:00 AM – Advent Meeting for Worship, probably at Deerfoot17 (CommunityWise)
Dec 21 & 28, 10:00 AM – Meeting for Worship at Sunalta Community Hall, Club Room
Meeting for Worship for Business will proceed as planned on Mon, Nov 25 at 7:00 PM on Zoom. The agenda and supporting documents will be circulated with the Nov 23 announcements.
Quakers Embrace Everyone
In the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), people from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs embark together on a spiritual journey. Although their individual beliefs may vary, Quakers share a Testimony of Equality based on the idea of a Divine presence in all people. A testimony is not a belief; it is committed action arising out of spiritual experience that describes the way that Friends testify or bear witness to their beliefs in their daily life.
“Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center, a speaking voice, to which we may continuously return.”
~Thomas Kelly
The Calgary Religious Society of Friends acknowledges that our gatherings take place on Treaty 7 in Southern Alberta in Moh’kins’tsis, named by the Blackfoot, where the Bow River meets the Elbow. Southern Alberta is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).
Calgary Monthly Meeting is part of Canadian Yearly Meeting and the Affirming Network of Faith Communities.
