christmas is for many people a time to get together with family. we'll do a little of that with some people who are family to us. members of curieux are joining us at the Undercroft at 5.00 pm for a potluck supper, to be followed by "a walking tour of Christmas!" we get to encounter the story of God becoming one of us in the neo-Gothic surroundings of Christchurch Cathedral, in word, action, music and surprise! suitable for all ages, (strollers welcome!) bring a flash light!!

sunday december 6th
twenty years after one of the most horrific days in Montreal's 367 year history, we take time out to remember the evil that sometimes lurks in the human heart, and the fourteen women's lives taken on that day. we will gather at the Undercroft at 5.00 pm for bread & soup as usual, then at 6.00 pm we will go upstairs to join in the service of remembrance at Christchurch Cathedral.
