NEWS
Dear Friends of L’Arche Saskatoon,
Here is information and dates regarding L’Arche Saskatoon events.
UPCOMING EVENTS
1. Friends of L’Arche Gathering – end-of-year BBQ
WHEN: Wednesday, June 17th, 5:30 pm to 8 pm.
WHERE: Diefenbaker Park (weather permitting)
If the weather’s good, we’ll meet at Diefenbaker Park, near the washrooms. If it’s rainy, we’ll meet at Grace Westminster United Church.
MENU: If you’re able to bring a salad to share or some dessert, that would be great! We won’t have a kitchen, so do please bring your own serving spoons if you’re bringing a salad. We’ll supply all of the burgers, hot dogs, and drinks. We ask for a $5 donation to cover costs (students free).
LAWN CHAIRS: If you have some lawn chairs, please bring them along.
2. L’Arche Prayer Nights
Prayer Nights continue on Wednesday nights (except when there’s a Friends of L’Arche Gathering) at Christopher House, from 7 until 7:30 pm, with tea and cookies afterwards.
3. L’Arche Crafts Group – June 14th
Come and spend an afternoon with the L’Arche Crafts Group, chatting and making things. We have several crafts on the go that you can come and participate in, or bring your own craft and do it in good company! We next meet on Sunday, June 14th, from 2:00-4:00 at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church. For more information, email Amy.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If you or someone you know would like to learn more about becoming a L’Arche assistant for the summer or for a year or more – either in Saskatoon or elsewhere in Canada or beyond (L’Arche is an international federation, after all) – check out the L’Arche Saskatoon assistants info or L’Arche Canada (be sure to check out the videos showing L’Arche assistants) or L’Arche International. Assistants usually live in, but sometimes live out of the L’Arche home; they receive training, are paid, have days off each week and month and holiday time each year, go on retreats, learn to live in a caring ecumenical faith community with lots of celebration and fun and friendship and opportunities for personal growth.
