All The World’s A Stage
What a special way to wrap up the fall session of ESG!
On Monday, ESG actors and volunteers gathered to clean up the neighbourhood around ESG Headquarters (a.k.a. Grandview Church) and spread some Christmas cheer (some of us adorned in silly costumes!). We had truly gorgeous weather, one last sunny, crisp fall day of the season.
We split up into two groups, one headed north and the other south, and collected bags of garbage (with gratitude for Vancouver’s street cleanup party program).
Afterwards we warmed up in the lower hall with hot chocolate and watched The Grinch while snacking on some delicious popcorn and gingerbread cake.
A great time was had by all! This may be an event worth repeating in the future, so stay tuned.
Have a joyful, peaceful Christmas and we are excited to gather again in 2022!
Exciting Adventures for ESG – Part 2
The exciting times continue for Eastside Story Guild!
Part 2 – The Great Advent Bake-Off
Last year a new tradition was established within the ESG community when the actors participated in a virtual zoom-based bake off challenge.
We had our very own hosts
We had our very own hosts
This year we were fortunate enough to be able to gather in person for another year of Advent Bake-Off, including two cookie decorating challenges: A Star Cookie Challenge…
…and a gingerbread space-themed Show Stopper.
Thank you to our wonderful leaders and volunteers who helped make this such a fun, community-building event. We can’t wait til next year!
Exciting Adventures for ESG – Part 1
We here at ESG have an exciting few weeks!
Part 1: The Planetarium
Near the end of November we gathered at the Planetarium to explore space and learn about the universe. It was a truly phenomenal field trip that included a show in the Rocket Lab and a trip through the universe in the IMAX theatre. Everyone had a great time, and it was a fun opportunity to hang out together.
Thank you so much to those who worked so hard to organize such a fun outing!

Community. Performing Arts. Resilience. Join in the Story this Summer
The children and teens of ESG told a deeply felt story of community, connection and the presence of God (even in the midst of a pandemic) in their June 1st live-streaming zoom film CLAY/SLIP/GLAZE. We’re grateful for the gift of their creativity and hard work, and for the community that came out in support of this innovative storytelling project.
This summer, behind the scenes, the “Dreamers and Sculptors” of Eastside Story Guild are preparing for what we hope will be a return to in-person Guild sessions in the fall, especially with some of the fun (like cast parties and flashlight tag!) that we’ve missed this past year.
Jeqn, our theatre director, is getting ready for the 2021-22 staging of Magnificat: A Story of Mary, and we are very excited about the possibility of welcoming a live audience to enter into this story together with us.
Your gift to Eastside Story Guild makes magic on stage and off!
