We\u2019ll all be together (although we\u2019ll also have the big drawing\/art zone set up at the back for anyone who prefers to worship that way), so there\u2019s no Sunday school. If you feel led to bring a snack, please do! We\u2019ll set that up downstairs for afterwards. (If your snack contains dairy, gluten, eggs, or nuts, maybe just make a note of that).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sunday, October 8:\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s the Thanksgiving Day Long Weekend, so that seems like a good time to do a Sabbatical Sunday. Sabbatical Sunday means\u00a0<em>no church!<\/em>\u00a0Now, that definitely doesn\u2019t mean people can\u2019t get together: in fact, it might be the perfect opportunity to have someone you don\u2019t know over for lunch! Or just take the day off! Read a book, go for a walk, check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/edmontoncornmaze.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">corn maze<\/a>, try doing some sabbath.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sunday, October 15:\u00a0<\/strong>We\u2019ve got a strange sort of event planned for this week at Mount Carmel at 11am on Sunday. We\u2019ll be borrowing from an ancient church practice \u2014 the public reading of Scripture \u2014 and reading and talking through a book of the Bible together. (This\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BO1Y9XyWKTw?si=EGDoTAC-BE2_MoSp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">little video<\/a>\u00a0about this practice is really great!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sunday, October 22:\u00a0<\/strong>This Sunday is Word Sunday, which means we are going to be continuing our look at who Jesus was and specifically how he related to others. This week we\u2019ll be hearing from Ruth about Jesus and \u2026 all the rest (or the others, or the extras \u2014 i.e., the people Jesus came across during his ministry). Sunday School for Grade 6 and under will also be available. (If you\u2019d like to hear some of our past ones, the ones that we remembered to record are available\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6bGPFkPc4KsypGUNCcoae5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sunday, October 29:\u00a0<\/strong>We are going to be having another Worship Sunday this week \u2014 I know: two in one month?
