This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Waterloo Declaration, a document that affirms the full communion relationship between the Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.
To celebrate, members of our Anglican Parish of the Valley have been invited to join the Ottawa Valley Lutheran Cluster of churches for their annual Reformation Sunday Service. This year's service will be held on Sunday, October 18th at 3pm at the Rankin Culture & Recreation Centre. Rev. Matthew has been invited to serve as the guest preacher for the service. All are welcome to attend!
For those who wish, there will also be a ticketed smoked pork loin dinner following the service, with the meal beginning at 5pm. Tickets are $35. A limited number of tickets (all sales cash only) will be available until October 4th from Gail at our office (613-732-4658, or office@valleyanglicans.ca). You can also purchase tickets from one of our neighbouring ELCiC churches in the Valley.
We give thanks for this opportunity to celebrate 25 years of partnership between Anglicans and Lutherans, and look forward to sharing in prayer and fellowship together on the afternoon of October 18th!
