NB Christian Ashram ~ Do you find it hard to break out of work and family routines, put away your cell phone and avoid other sources of social media in order to spend quality time with God? Even Jesus had to retreat from everyday life to pray. Consider the New Brunswick Christian Ashram as your opportunity to go deeper in your faith relationship. Held from August 7 – 10, 2025 at beautiful Beulah Camp and Conference Centre in Brown’s Flat, you will experience a leisurely, interdenominational Christian retreat in a conference setting well-resourced to serve your needs. To learn more, speak to Cindy Derksen or visit www.nbca.ca.

There is good news. Today the General Synod elects a new Primate for the Anglican Church of Canada.

Circulating with this week’s e-News is a photo from last Sunday’s service at Christ Church.
