Important Reminder - Measles Precaution
Hello Parents of Kids@Friends! We hope this message finds you well!
In our mission to provide an inclusive place for your kids to explore their unique spirituality, health and safety continue to be our number one priority.
With the recent concern of measles in Alberta, we want to assure you that this priority is as strong as ever.
The symptoms of measles include:
a fever
a cough
a runny nose
red eyes
a blotchy, red rash that appears 3 to 7 days after the fever starts.
In darker skin, the redness may be harder to see or may appear purple or darker than surrounding skin.
Rash typically begins behind the ears and on the face and spreads down to the body and to the arms and legs.
We ask that if you or anyone in your family are experiencing symptoms, please stay home, rest up, contact your health care provider, and reach out to anyone at Friends Church for support.
For more information please visit
As always, please contact me with your questions or concerns.
Kids@Friends Pastor - Carly Gracher
Hey there!
My name is Carly! Here's a bit about me!
I was born and raised in Ontario until I was 10, when my parents made a brave and exciting decision to move myself and my twin sister to Florida! We had 3 years of blissful sunshine, beaches, and Disney World. Then we moved back to the great white north and settled in Calgary.
Shortly after arriving here, I met the love of my life.
19 years later, we have two wonderful boys together.
My educational background is in anthropology (not the cute store, the study of human culture and evolution)
I believe that there is an incredible amount to be learned from our primate family, and our animal kingdom. Little did I know that what started as a love for our ape cousins would transform into a love of people and their differences.
Being a member of Friends Church for the past 12 years definitely laid the ground work, but making humans from scratch solidified an absolute love for the uniqueness of each of us. Being a mom changed the game.
I remind myself everyday that it is an absolute privilege to influence my kids and help shape them into the best versions of themselves.
Extending this privilege to the community of kids at Friends Church is something I do not take lightly.
My goal is to inspire kids to be action oriented, spiritually confident humans that are celebrated for their uniqueness.
Every kid, every family, every community, plays a massive role on this earth. And I am passionate about connecting that kid, that family, and that community to something bigger than themselves.
I truly believe that this is what changes the world.
I'd love to know a bit about you! Email me!
