Today we welcome the students of Trinity Western University’s counselling Program. Since September this group of people have met on Monday nights to practice their learning by offering low-cost counselling through Fraser River Counselling. This is part of our parish’s commitment to the healing of the body, mind and spirit of the world. We will hear how this outreach program impacts our community and why followers of Jesus desire to be involved in this kind of work.   Our ministry of Healing at St. Dunstan’s is diverse.        

We all need to learn to share our story and to listen to the story of others. This helps us live healthy lives of openness and integrity. In this introduction you will learn what a Spiritual Companion Group is and be connected with a group of 4 or 5 others in which you will be able to authentically share your story, be encouraged on your spiritual journey, and enjoy community life.   You will learn the skills of sharing and listening that are required to hear and respond to the still small voice of God in your own heart and to be able to respond appropriately to the still small voice of God in another’s.  

Facilitated by Helen Tervo, Lorie Martin,  Rebekah Horch, Ron & Marilyn Isaak   The Enneagram, as a way of learning about yourself, is best explored in a circle conversation. Bring your knowledge, questions and discoveries, and an open heart for growth. If you do not know your Enneagram number take an Enneagram test prior to this retreat.  You can find a good one at www.9types.com/rheti/index.php for no charge or tests.enneagraminstitute.com for a cost of $12.

An hour of sung prayer, stillness, scripture & sacred space with prayer stations with Cathy Hardy and friends. This month we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord, an ancient feast to remember Jesus being presented to Simeon and Anna in the temple.
