Read Neil’s piece The simple power of breaking bread from the September issue of the Anglican Montreal
He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
Matthew 18:2-6

We are thrilled to invite you to another season of Supper Club gatherings.
What do we do?
Well... we hang out and chat, we mingle in a relaxed, informal way. Come as you are. Supper Club is not fancy! Kids of all ages are welcome and included to attend and participate. We provide the food (gluten free and vegan).
Please bring your own wine.
Arrive at 5:30 if you can because that is the best time to have a glass of wine and get to know one another.
There will be opportunities for worship, prayer and conversation.
Supper Club is not a lecture, there are no sermons. It is a place for you to bring questions about your faith, share concerns, to be heard and to listen.
This year we will be reflecting on Rachel Held Evans' book "Inspired". It would be helpful if you access to the book but is not required as we will be discussing and reading passages together at Supper Club.

The Synod Office is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk), at a place called Tio’tia:ke (Montreal), a meeting place for many First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee (Six Nation Confederacy), Anishinabeg and Algonquin peoples.
We recognize and respect the Kanien’keha:ka as the traditional stewards of the land and waters of Tio’tia:ke.
Our acknowledgement stands as a promise to continue the ongoing work of recognition and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
