This Sunday

I waited patiently for God; and then....

God drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog,

And set my feet upon a rock,

Making my steps secure.

And then ... this God

Put a new song in my mouth.

- Psalm 40 -

This God. This God. A little reverence, please! In this season of dark and light, take a moment and remember: the holy black womb of God pulsed life into the world. Surely it will do the same for you.

Join us this Sunday. The Mostly Righteous have another great song: “Guiding Light” by Mumford and Sons. Our faithful coffee makers have another warm welcome: light and dark, as you prefer. And God - our God – this God – has eminent presence in our gathering and our praise.

The New Home of Stagecoach Performing Arts

As part of the longest running and most successful children's performing arts network in the world, Stagecoach Halifax is proud to bring its award winning performing arts program for children and teens ages 4-16yrs to Saint Andrew's Church in downtown Halifax this January.

We are more than just another theatre or dance school, Stagecoach offers a full and rounded performing arts education, teaching your child life skills to build confidence and stretch imaginations. Class sizes are kept small, and each class is taught by a highly trained and experienced teacher who will cater to each child’s unique needs and potential.

No experience or audition required, just a desire to create, play and have fun! We offer an Early Stages class for students 4-6 years old as well as a Main Stages class for students 6-14 years old. Not sure if Stagecoach is for you? We offer a two week trial so you can come along and see if it is a right fit.

Classes in Halifax start at 4:30 every Monday afternoon and space for our Winter Term is still available.

The Bombadils have new music and a new album. A night with Sarah Frank and Luke Fraser in our warm, cozy musical home will be filled with Sarah's compelling soprano vocals, her dynamic fiddle playing and Luke's warm, soulful singing and his prowess on the guitar and mandolin.

The Bombadils took their time with this album, wanting it to come from a place of reflection and unhurried, playful creativity. "A slow-food approach to album making".
