Healing Touch
Our Healing Touch ministry group of 12 people continues to serve the needs of the congregation and the community, based on the training and code of ethics established in the Healing Pathway by Naramata Centre.
We offer regular sessions on the 1st and 3rd Monday evenings, with 2 sets of appointments each evening. We can schedule 3 to 4 persons at each time slot.
There is no charge for any healing sessions. Contact Linda Hueppelsheuser at 403-885-4887 or dlhueppe@hotmail.com for an appointment.

18 to 30 something
If you are a young adult over 18 years of age, you are invited to gather with other young adults over coffee to explore what options you would like to see for programming inside or outside the church with other young adults. What options might we offer to help build a supportive community? How might gathering be both fun and at the same time offer a depth that other groups might lack? The possibilities are wide open. If you would be interested in taking part in such a group, contact Mervin Gallant at the church 403-782-3148 or by email at st_amerv@telus.net
