The Advent & Christmas issue of our parish newspaper, Revelations, will be published in mid December. This will be our last issue of Revelations for 2025!

We would love to share stories from across our parish. If you have a story idea, would like to share about things that took place through the fall or stories of life in our many congregations - we would love to hear from you!

Please send submissions to revelations@valleyanglicans.ca or feel free to reach out to Rev. Gillian if you have a story idea but want to work with someone else to write it - we're pleased to assist in sharing the good news of what the churches and groups of our Parish of the Valley are up to!

Submission deadline is Friday, December 5.

We are really pleased to share that Rev. Nicholas Forte has been invited to serve as a member of the Governing Board of the Canadian Council of Churches, on behalf of the General Synod of our Anglican Church of Canada. Rev. Nick will be away from the parish next week, November 18th through 21st, attending the CCoC's semiannual meeting in Toronto. In case of pastoral emergency during this time, please contact another member of the clergy team.

The Canadian Council of Churches is, "A broad and inclusive ecumenical body, now representing 26-member churches including Anglican; Eastern and Roman Catholic; Evangelical; Free Church; Eastern and Oriental Orthodox; and Historic Protestant traditions. Together these member churches comprise 85% of the Christians in Canada (drawn from data provided by the Statistics Canada 2021 Survey). The Canadian Council of Churches was founded in 1944." 

You can read more about the Canadian Council of Churches at their website, linked below. Congratulations, Rev. Nick, on being invited into this new ecumenical leadership role!
