The Magic of Awe

Can you feel it? Can you see it? The magic of the season, the magic of awe is all around us. Join us for a service that explores the magic of awe that can crack our hearts open to the holy.

Solstice Service

For thousands of years people have gathered on the eve of the winter solstice to celebrate the rebirth of the sun. Today we gather to be nurtured and held during the longest night and begin to look forward to the light returning. From out of the darkness and cold, light and hope return. Join us as we slow down, sit in silence together and rest when the wheel turns. We’ll gather to walk the labyrinth and join in ritual to honour the gifts of the night and to celebrate the return of the light. 

We welcome everyone to our service. This year we will be holding the event at Sanford Hall, Kwomais Point Regional Park, 1367 – 128 Street, South Surrey (near Ocean Park Shopping Center). We’ll start the labyrinth walk at 4pm. The annual Solstice Ritual led by Rev. Samaya will begin at 5pm.

Joy to the World

The carol, Joy to the World, celebrates its 300th anniversary. Join us as we kick off the season with a romp through the ages celebrating the joy this carol brings.

Remembering our Ancestors

In ancient times the practice of Samhein was observed. Today, we know this holiday as Halloween. This was a time when it was believed that the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead was at its thinnest. Join us for a time of storytelling and a time of remembering our ancestors. You are invited to bring pictures of your loved ones to the service – and to dress in your Halloween costumes.

A Child is Born

Join us at 7:00 pm for our online Christmas Eve service. In our lessons and carols service, we’ll take time to remember the story of old, the birth of Jesus, and what it means for our lives today.
