Sunday Service November 19
This service will include a presentation on Helping Refugees. Sasha D., once a refugee herself, is seeking to rescue her brother Alex and his family from Lebanon, and bring them to Canada. Alex, his wife and two young children, escaped serious threats in Syria, but, as undocumented asylum seekers in Lebanon, could be deported back to Syria at any time. Sasha’ s presentation will be introduced and facilitated by Terence Stone, a member of Victoria Shows Love, the group who is supporting Sasha in her efforts to help Alex and his family find a stable place to begin a new life.
Sunday Service November 5: “Day of the Dead” Community Service
The Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico usually on November 1-2, but in some areas as late as November 6. This is a time when people remember and celebrate those related to them who have passed from this world. The Church of Truth has often had a Sunday Service focused on the Day of the Dead, sometimes by inviting people to dress up as an ancestor, or to bring an ancestor’s favourite food. This year we will keep it simple by having a community service offering everyone the opportunity of speaking about one or more of those who have passed but who are still very significant to them. Chris Bullock will introduce and facilitate this section of the November 5 service.
Sunday October 29
Join us on Sunday the 29 October for, the second time, a sing along service led by West Coast REACH! Association.

Special thank you to Anne-Maire & Peter, founders of West Coast REACH! Association for making this happen.
Sunday Service August 27
The 27th looks really ripe for communication about communication.
A question could be, “When we want to relate well on a particular topic, how can we build critically foundational contexts in these relating events?
Contexts:
Subjective context- feelings;
1st order objective context- aims of discourse;
2nd order objective context- social practice
in the name of the Holy, Holy, only One.”?
Moderated by Lawrence

Andrew would also like to follow up on the “low hanging fruit” and if there were moments throughout the week where we realise, this is a good low hanging fruit, I’m going to take this opportunity to “let go” and don’t suppress anything, maybe reminding our body to relax and see how many of these moments we are able to catch ” the low hanging fruit”
Sunday Service April 9, 2023
Andrew and Laura will facilitate Sunday Service.
Service forecast: Funny enough, It looks like there could be a full on engagement with humor. Laughing, telling short jokes, and even playful riddles would be totally plus to the greater integration. Anything, from silly, to a hilarious look at reality from unexpected perspectives, welcome to the lifting of spirits.
About five planets are together in the picture of tripping off on the funny potential.
Laughter yoga…
