“WINE BEFORE BREAKFAST” Holy Communion held each week on Wednesdays at 7:45 a.m. in the Dalhousie Multi-faith Centre (1321 Edward Street). This event is sponsored by the Dalhousie Anglican Society and consists of a simple said Communion service celebrated by the Chaplain, followed by breakfast and a time for fellowship. WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY – LECTIO DIVINA Join us in the Middle Bay Don Suite on Wednesdays from 9.00-10.00 p.m. where we will be working our way through “The Gospel according to Matthew” in the style of Lectio Divina. We are hoping that this bible study will help deepen our understanding of the bible and of sacred reading itself.
THE TERM IN DEPTH FRIDAY EVENSONG STUDENT MEDITATION Each Friday at 5 p.m. a student from King’s or Dal gives a brief meditation on the Lessons of the Day, or on a spiritual theme. This is an important moment for the building of spiritual community as students gather to honour their peers by listening attentively and expectedly to their fellows. The brief Evensong concludes with a postlude gospel song of Sacred Harp Music sung by a small and enthusiastic choir, which is always looking for new members to introduce to this extraordinary North American gospel tradition. EVENSONG AND SPEAK SERIES The Chapel is proud to present the continuation of the series entitled “Evensong & Speak” to be held four times each term. A short 17 minute talk/reflection will be given directly following Wednesday Choral Evensong on these days. The theme presented will follow the Chapel’s question for 2013-14, “What is wrong with the world?” Oct. 16 Oct. 23 Nov. 6 Nov. 27

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND RETREAT Participants enjoy a weekend in the Annapolis Valley at a St. Anne’s Camp. It’s a relaxing weekend with opportunity to hike and canoe on Gibson’s Lake on October 12-14. On Monday we cook and enjoy our extraordinary Thanksgiving Meal and then head back to the Quad with various varieties of homemade pie. Not a ‘religious’ heavy weekend but lots of opportunity for quiet reflection, walks, and study (if necessary). Open to all, especially those not able to get home for Thanksgiving. FALL RETREAT A contemplative retreat October 25-27 held in the beauty of the Nova Scotian backcountry outside Kejimkujik National Park, ordered by the daily singing of the monastic offices. This weekend retreat, led by Chapel Theologian The Rev’d Dr. Lisa Wang, will explore the practice of Lectio Divina, reading the Created Order through Scripture. Retreatants will have time to enjoy the outdoors, to canoe, hike, read, study, walk, or simply relax in nature. This retreat is for all types of persons, of any faith or none.
CHRISTMAS TREE HUNT & WARDEN DECORATING PARTY On Friday, November 29 we head to the South Shore to hunt down and bring home a Christmas Tree that is decorated the next day during the Wardens’ Chapel Decorating Party, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Garlands, decorations, mulled wine, festive music – a great way to get in the holiday spirit with our College friends before exams and departure for home.
