“Strange and beautiful are the stars tonight
that dance around your head
in your eyes I see that perfect world -
I hope that doesn’t sound too weird
And I want all the world to know
that your love’s all I need – all that I need
and if we’re lost – then we are lost together.”
- Blue Rodeo, Lost Together

this sunday, the ‘river’ community is going to get ‘lost together’ in ‘dragon alley’ as we continue wandering the neighbourhood for this season of lent.

dragon alley is a place of creativity here in the neighbourhood.  some children have claimed the alley and painted it, and made it a place of play and wonder!  what better place to hold a gathering! a little oasis in the wilderness.

to get to dragon alley – check out this map…  walk west from the “A” on the map to the little garden beside the Green P.  if you can’t access the map, we’ll be in the first alley north of college, and west of dufferin – it’s called “bonar place”.  go west from dufferin down bonar and you’ll see us.

we’re hoping it stops snowing and things warm up (it’s supposed to).  either way, we’re going to have a much shortened gathering with some action songs to keep warm – but dress warm nonetheless!  ‘river’ community member Julie Hard, who is about to head out for 6 months to Haiti will share as she prepares for that journey (she leaves tuesday). there will be bread and wine, as usual!

after we’re done the shorter service, we’ll have some hot chocolate & coffee & we’ll walk (about 5 minutes) up to the dufferin park rinkhouse, where there will be skating (skate rentals are available) and a heated rinkhouse.  you may wish to bring a few dollars for snacks, hot chocolate and other tasty goods that they sell up there from the rinkhouse.  there are usually skate rentals available. lance is going to bring some toboggans as well!

should be a good time.  snow and/or shine!!!

see you on Sunday.

the ‘river’ team.
