Event

Join us this fall for a soul-nourishing day of connection, reflection, and inspiration in the beautiful and historic setting of St. Anne’s Church, on the edge of Sackville, New Brunswick.

This “day away” is a gentle and meaningful miniature of our longer three-day Rural Routes gathering. Whether you’ve joined us before or are just curious to dip your toes in, this is a wonderful opportunity to be part of the Rural Routes community—no matter how you live out your spirituality.

The day will include:

• Thoughtful speakers and creative workshops

• Space for quiet reflection and rich conversation

• Morning refreshments and a shared lunch (included with registration)

We welcome everyone—those who attend church often, and those who experience the holy in other ways.

Special Guest: Tom Urbaniak – You Are Loved

We’re honoured to welcome Tom Urbaniak to this event. Tom will share readings from You Are Loved, a moving tribute to his late wife, Rev. Alison Etter.

“With remarkable simplicity, Tom Urbaniak has laid out a prescription for making the world a better place… a balm and an inspiration for readers of all ages.”

During the session, Tom will read from the book, offer reflections, and invite conversation around Alison’s legacy of love and the many ways it continues to ripple outwards.

Copies of You Are Loved will be available for purchase, with all royalties donated to the Rev. Alison Etter Memorial Fund at the Atlantic School of Theology, supporting those who carry forward Alison’s work and values, across all faith traditions.
