Praying, listening often the first course of action

There was a massive fire in Bella Bella BC this week. You probably didn’t hear about it. Bella Bella is on the BC coast. It’s a first Nations community. Located in the territory of the Heiltsuk Nation, Bella Bella is an important town and service centre. I know of Bella Bella because it is the home of a United Church of Canada hospital (yes, the United Church runs several small, remote hospitals). Bella Bella was part of a historic ministry of the United Church.
