Studio 9 is upgrading, changing their name to Kelowna Arts Academy, and… wait for it…. giving the parking lot the full star treatment—new pavement, painted lines, and a smoother entrance than the Oscar’s red carpet! No more dusty shoes!   This Sunday, August 17, the parking lot will be closed for paving and line painting. Even when it looks finished, it needs a few days to set before it’s ready for its big debut.

Cool down and sweeten up this summer! Following service on Sunday, August 17th, join us for our third annual Sundaes on Sunday.

The Following is a Mediation that was guided by Rev. John DePalma on Father's Day June 15, 2025
