Each Sunday we gather at 10:30 am for a joyous worship experience with music, scripture, other inspired readings, a reflection, communion and prayers.
Bishop Jenny Andison wrote, “Lent is spring cleaning for the soul; a chance to clear out some spiritual junk from our closets and re-evaluate some of the rhythms and habits that the pandemic has forced on us.” Today, we mark the beginning of Lent as we accompany Jesus on the 40 day journey that takes him […]
One of the places in town where I invariably hang out almost every day is at the dog park. It’s been an great opportunity to get to know people I wouldn’t have otherwise met. We share something in common … we’re dog owners and no matter the weather, on a gorgeous summer day or in […]
It was January, 1970 in the United States and 1995 in Canada when Black History Month started. During the month of February there is a focus on culture, history and issues of justice, both past and present. As much as it is about culture and history, though, I also believe it is about spirituality, faith […]
A few years ago now, there was a movement that took hold … WWJD or “What Would Jesus Do?” It made it’s way on to bracelets, baseball caps, t-shirts and pendants people had around their neck. It was a reminder that in all we do as part of our baptismal identity and discipleship, we are […]

Yesterday morning, I bundled up in my warmest winter coat, a hat and gloves and headed out with the dog for her morning walk. We weren’t going to be going far though as the temperature was clost to -30 degrees. Brrr it’s cold was definitely on my mind. I don’t know about you, but when […]
There’s no doubt that the January blah’s are real and not in our imaginations. And to be sure, I know personally for myself, and I suspect for many of you too, the January blah’s are only exasperated by all we’re going through these days. January is a month when many people experience feeling worn out […]
You might well remember the promotions years ago for the Hide House in Acton … it’s worth the drive to Acton. As we enter these next days celebrating Christmas, it’s worth the trip to Bethlehem. So I invite you to join me in making your personal pilgrimage to this place where God will be revealed […]
