    • Article for meditation and reflection posted on today's bulletin

    • In order to encourage everyone to understand the Anglican liturgy and appreciate the meaning and tradition of the liturgy, a series of liturgical sessions are now being arranged.

    • The second series will be held on February 4, 18, and 25.

  4. Cantonese Bible Study Group

    • There will be NO Cantonese Bible Study Group from February to March this year so that parishioners can concentrate on participating in spiritual activities during Lent. The next meeting of the Cantonese Bible Study Group will be held on Thursday, April 11 this year at 7pm

  5. Singing “Lord Have Mercy”​

    • During communion services in Lent, we will be singing (instead of reading) “Lord Have Mercy”.  Here is the YouTube link for the tune that we will use.  It is a beautiful piece that will give us time to reflect.  We encourage everyone to listen to it at home before February 18, so we can sing it together on that day.​

    • Lord Have Mercy (Kyrie)​
