yes dear...

Kind hearts are the garden.
Kind thoughts are the root.
Kind words are the blossoms.
Kind deeds are the fruit.

A gentle reminder...

The movement toward parish is reaching a tipping point. Thousands of people across Canada & the US are moving toward a more local and embodied way of being the church in everyday life. But the journey is complex, the transition is difficult, and the experienced guides are few.

Join this gathering of practitioners from Edmonton, as well as seasoned representatives from Cascadia as stories are told, best practices shared, and the charism of particular places are explored.

Emerge from your isolation and embrace community in your very own neighbourhood.

What about the neighbour?

When God's will is done,
Love of God and other,
Two loves become one.
Jesus asks the question,
We dare not ignore,
"Will you be a neighbour?"
"Do you love self more?"

What about the neighbour?
Do we know their needs?
Do we seek to meet them,
With both words and deeds?
Christ is our example.
He did not divide
Love for God and others.
Both stand side by side.

What about the neighbour?
God requests reply.
Though we claim to love them,
Do our acts belie?
No matter what others
May do in return,
They're our sisters, brothers,
Our equal concern. (Anabaptist Hymn)

Loving our neighbors was never meant to be just a metaphor for loving someone else. We grow the most where we're planted. (bob goff)

Are you looking for a sign from God?

Love your neighbour.
