Lent Spiritual Journey – 2026
Life Stories is a Seven week Spiritual Journey led by Rev. Dr. Anne Beattie-Stokes on Friday mornings from 10:30 to noon, starting on February 13th and finishing on March 27th. The Bible is full of stories as ancient writers remember, reflect, wrestle and try to make sense of life with God and with one another. These stores were passed down so that we also might remember, reflect and wrestle with our lives: taking stock of how far we’ve come, reconnecting with the present, and turning the page toward the future. On our journey together, we’ll carry the Bible in one hand and the wisdom of Madeleine L’Engle in the other as we connect our stories to the gospel stories for Ash Wednesday and the Sundays of Lent and Palm/Passion Sunday. We’ll gather together on Fridays and dive into the material. During the week to follow, we’ll reflect and write our life stories using practices from the study guide. If you would like to join the journey, please call or email Beth at White Oaks United Church to register, so we can print your free study guide. 519 681-3229 or churchoffice@whiteoaksunitedchurch.ca

There is underground parking, elevators, and a Tim Horton’s coffee shop available. Come and join us to get a little exercise and meet other walking. If you can only walk for half the time that is okay. Walk for as long as you can and at a pace that is good for you. We hope to see you there.
PS: the first time we met we walked over 5, 200 steps. We original planned to walk for 2 hours, but found 1 hour was long enough.
