Stuffed Companion Sleep Over
2023-03-11 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Edmonton)
Stuffed Companion Sleepover and Tea party Saturday March 11, 1:00 – 2:30 pm This is a family friendly event and all the companions must come with their guardian (ages 4-9) and a responsible adult. Space is limited so please sign up by clicking here.
Bring your stuffed companion with you to story and tea time. We’ll read stories and have a tea party to help make the companions comfortable and create a passport for them . Then, you go home and let your stuffed friend enjoy a fun sleepover at the church. Come back the next day between 11:00am and 1:00pm to pick up your companion and see pictures of some of the things that they got up to. If you can’t come to collect your companion on March 12, arrangements can be made to reunite with them later.

Visit to Metis Crossing.
2023-09-22 08:30 - 2023-09-23 00:00
Getting close now, folks! It’s not too late to plan to join us on a road trip to Metis Crossing, the first major cultural interpretive center in Alberta. It’s located in Smoky Lake, about 4 ½ hours northeast of Calgary.
We’ll carpool from St. Thomas, leaving at about 8:30 am on Friday September 22. Paul Bercier from the congregation has suggested we stop for lunch in Fort Saskatchewan (3 hours away). Once we arrive at Metis Crossing and get settled, a guided experience is planned for 3 pm, called “Meet the Metis” (about 1 hour long). Dinner (bison stew, bannock, 2 salads & a dessert) will be served at 6 pm, and a fire pit will be available for us at 8 pm.
Saturday will begin with a hot breakfast at 8 am. Our second guided experience is a “Wildlife & Solar Field Tour” at 10 am (1 ½ hours long). Lunch (soup, salad, & sandwich) is available at noon. You’re welcome to either head for home at this point or perhaps explore the area a little more: the Victoria Settlement Provincial Historic Site is just a few minutes (10 km) away.
Here’s an idea of the costs (thanks to Paul who negotiated a 20% discount for our group!) Breakfast & lunch are about $20 each, dinner is $28; a service charge of 18% applies to food & beverages. The firepit is $24 shared between all of us. Lodge rooms (2 twin beds) are $180 shared between 2 people. (RV sites are also available). Experiences are $24 and $48.80 respectively per person. The lodge will bill me for the total rather than charging individual participants; please reimburse me by either cheque or e-transfer.
Visiting Metis Crossing is an opportunity to be outside and it’s located beside the North Saskatchewan River. Please consider bringing with you: good footwear that may get wet, sunscreen, bug spray, a water bottle, a hat, and sunglasses. Dress in layers and dress for the weather. Questions? Please contact Elaine Gray, email sarahegray@telus.net; 403-286-6687.
