Join Rev. Maggie for our Women of Wisdom group. We Join Rev. Maggie for our Women of Wisdom group. We’ll be reading Barbara Essex's book "Bad Girls of the Bible" and discussing five great figures; Eve, Rebekah, Jezebel, Herodias and the “woman taken in adultery". Barbara Essex looks beyond the notoriety of these women to show us they embody exceptional boldness, courage, determination, and independence. These are stories through which we can imagine not just a human reality, but also a greater possibility. The book is available through the public library or for purchase. We’ll send out selected passages before each gathering and you may read as much as you wish in advance. The group will be held over Zoom, please contact Rev. Maggie Watts-Hammond at pastoralcare@standrewswesley.com to join us. #standrewswesleyunitedchurch #vancouverchurch #vancouverworship
Feeling frazzled? Ground yourself with a one-word Feeling frazzled? Ground yourself with a one-word chant or mantra. Pick something that is simple and meaningful to you. Using your breath, slowly repeat it 20 times without rushing. If you get distracted, don't worry! Start from the top or continue where you left off. Chants or mantras have the power to sooth anxiety and create joyous feelings when we're feeling overwhelmed. #standrewswesleyunitedchurch #vancouverchurch #vancouverworship

Need a bigger perspective? Try a walking meditatio Need a bigger perspective? Try a walking meditation. Whether it is a park, beach or city street, walk in silence and direct your attention to the world around you. Focusing on your surroundings and not giving into negative thoughts is calming for your mind, just like meditating at home.

January is a difficult month for many of us. If yo January is a difficult month for many of us. If you're feeling blue, try a gratitude practice. Even if all we can be thankful for is breath, writing down three things we are grateful for each day reveals to us the blessing of every small gift in our lives. #standrewswesleyunitedchurch #vancouverworship #vancouverchurch #unitedchurchofcanada

Happy Epiphany! A prayer practice for this season Happy Epiphany! A prayer practice for this season is blessing our homes. This ritual involves “chalking our doors” with the year and some specific letters joined by crosses. 20 + C + M + B + 22. The C, M, B represent the Latin words Christus Mansionem Benedict’s which translates May Christ Bless this House /Home. Playfully for the season of Epiphany some also refer to the 3 magi in the letters too - Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar (we of course don’t really know that there were only 3 and what there names were). May Christ Bless your Home and all who enter. #standrewswesleyunitedchurch #chalkingthedoor
We are thrilled to announce our first ever Artist We are thrilled to announce our first ever Artist in Residence, Ilena Lee Cramer. She is known for her work in theatre and ceramics and will be offering workshops until June at the church for anyone in the community who feels drawn to create with clay! Ilena is a ceramic artist, teacher, technician, theatre artist and writer from a trailer park at the end of the road in Alaska. She says that as such, every road she takes feels like she's moving backwards. She travels through history and picks up artifacts like mud, rusty stuff, and stories to make things that feel comfortable and familiar, yet altogether surprising. She is currently the ceramic technician and instructor for the Richmond Arts Centre and her studio practice is two fold—contemporary wheel thrown Chinese/European techniques and traditional hand build and pit fired techniques. Ilena says, "Whether I am making plays, poetry or pottery I am making art that is simple and accessible. I search to find the universal language—touch, laughter, home. My pots are empty spaces meant to hold my day dreams, a loving touch, or a wine-warmed smile."

Happy New Year! This month we'll be sharing spirit Happy New Year! This month we'll be sharing spiritual practices to lean on during this turbulent time. Today why not reach for peace instead of your phone and start your day with this simple prayer from St. Francis of Assisi. Lord make Me an instrument of Your peace Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness joy. O Divine master grant that I may Not so much seek to be consoled as to console To be understood, as to understand. To be loved. as to love For it's in giving that we receive And it's in pardoning that we are pardoned And it's in dying that we are born... To eternal life. #standrewswesleyunitedchurch #vancouverchurch #vancouverworship
