Robyn had a sad yesterday… so he wanted to sit with a friend during worship instead of hangout on his branch. Sandra filled that roll well! It’s the Victoria Day weekend; usually the start of camping season and opening up cottages.

What a great day of celebration we had yesterday! Baptized Ella Sitland-Kasujja, with Linda Sitland, her Nanny, singing a solo to celebrate that. We also marked the formal end to our relationship with Jessie Crabtree, whose 18 months of Supervised Field Education came to end. Both milestones, but markers on journeys of faith! You’ll noticeContinue reading “Monday Message – April 25, 2022”
