And a Third Thought...

Clare and Francis

"Keep a clear eye toward life's end. Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God's Creature. What you are in His sight is what you are and nothing more. Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing you have received...but only what you have given; a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage." -- St. Francis of Assisi*

*Attributed to his Letters to Rulers of People; quoted by Fr. Tim's friend and Deaconess, Agnes, in Light From Heaven by Jan Karon, Penguin Books, 2005.

Service Times

Sundays at 10 a.m. - Alternatively, either Eucharist or Morning Prayer (BAS). All are welcome to our services, and to join us for coffee and refreshments afterward.

NOTE: The Parishes of St. Cyprian's, Lacombe and St. John's, Olds, serve the wine at Eucharist from the common cup. If this is uncomfortable for you, please know that you can accept the wafer of bread and then simply touch the base of the chalice of wine, and be deemed to have received the sacrament in both kinds.

Masks are optional, and a matter of personal choice, including during corporate singing. Hand sanitizer is available for those who wish to cleanse their hands prior to taking the Eucharist.

Please continue in prayer for leaders at all levels, facing difficult decisions every day, for all on the front lines of health care and emergency response, for all facing illness of any kind, and/or grieving the loss of loved ones for any reason.
