Midweek Message – April 30, 2025

I sometimes wonder if anyone reads these… but based on a few emails when I didn’t write one last week, I guess you do! 😉 Following Easter, I took a few comp days to recharge my energy banks; I’d been putting in a great deal of extra time, including a number of Saturday events.

Midweek Message – April 9, 2025

It’s Palm Sunday, as Jesus heads to Jerusalem and ultimately his death. The choir has been working on an anthem called Breathe, Listen and Notice and I’ve written an interactive service in three movements around those themes: Breathe, Listen and Notice.

Midweek Message – March 19

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, I’m resisting getting into my garden to clean it up… leaving all the beneficial insects in it who have overwintered in it. It’s a mess!

Catherine adapted what had been planned for Christmas Eve and added Epiphany The first one isContinue reading “The Season of Christmas”

Midweek Message – January 24

I was struck by this sign above a doorway on Portland Street one day last week on my walk back from the library! Tucked between two storefronts, I would have never noticed it if I had been driving. There is no better way to be in a neighbourhood than on foot, in fact, along withContinue reading “Midweek Message – January 24”
