Mary Ellen Davis — Tue, 05 May 2026 08:02:23 +0000

Life happens, and in the course of a day there are many pain points. Some are small—a missed appointment or a frustrating delay.

Create Lasting Memories

When I began writing this article it was the beginning of Holy Week, the time when we focus on Jesus’ journey to the cross and his eventual death. Perhaps that is the reason why my thoughts turned to funerals and how we come to terms with our own death. In our society, death is still […]

Andrew Stephens-Rennie — Fri, 01 May 2026 08:40:47 +0000

I wonder how many of us, despite regular participation in our local congregations, wrestle with this very question: Why Church? Why, given the disorienting state of the world, do we continue to show up? These are questions that I wrestle with on my own, but they are also questions that others ask me. What is […]

What Psalms Teach Us

Norene Morrow — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 08:22:42 +0000

In Anglican liturgy, scripture readings are an important part of our weekly worship. All are connected by a common thread or theme which helps shape the sermon and influence the music chosen for the day.

Wilderness Journeys . . . Wholehearted Celebrations!

David Burrows — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 08:36:38 +0000

Gloveless hands tingled, reminding me that Spring had not yet sprung. As I walked down the driveway, I met up with Dave, my neighbour […]
