Hi everyone,

I just thought I would share a new feature to which I have been asked to contribute with the faith community with which I walk (UCiM): A Deacon's Musing. I would love to hear any thought, reflections, challenges & concerns that might occur to you should this blog be of interest to you.

Blessings for 2012!

This is so cool. 1Hope is a United Church-related group of outreach ministries in Winnipeg. 

From the YouTube post:

Day one of this first national gathering of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission began at 5:19 a.m. yesterday with the lighting of the Sacred Fire at sunrise here at The Forks in Winnipeg.

Yesterday morning I spoke with the Rev. Bill Millar as he and his congregation of Knox United in Winnipeg prepared for worship. They’d been through quite a shock. On Friday a portion of the building’s stone spire fell as a thunderstorm rolled across the city. A 6,000 lb. chunk of Tyndall rock came crashing down, narrowly missing a nearby parked car. Amazingly, no one was hurt.
