40 Acts of Lent

I am not your traditional penitent person. I have always had problems with Lent, the 40 days before Easter, the most joyous day in the Christian year.

I suspect my conflict began early, when growing up in Quebec it was important for the much smaller Protestants to clearly differentiate themselves from the overwhelmingly dominant, at least by numbers, Roman Catholics.

When all my friends talked about giving up this or that for Lent (usually involving candy) I kind of rebelled.

That attitude has stuck with me to this day.

Pigs Are Flying

Pigs are flying in Owen Sound.

I have proof.

The first proof I have is a picture taken last August in Woodstock of the lead staff of six key organizations which strive to address poverty in this city. They are all sitting together. They are all smiling.

I know the photo wasn’t staged, because most of them told me that they liked the photo and were glad to see it.

Growing in Holiness February 17, 2013

Here is my draft of my message for Sunday.

Growing in Holiness 2013 02 17 Lent 1  Rom 10:4-13

There is the old story about the head of a monastery.  One day, a very old copy of the guidelines for their order was found,  and he carefully reads it.  He suddenly starts wailing. They dropped the r.  The word was celebrate.

Today is the first Sunday of Lent, a time to open ourselves to coming closer to God, and allowing God to come closer to us.

Wedding Thoughts Mazel Tov!

St. Valentine’s Day approaches and that means that in the next couple of weeks our church will see an increase in inquiries about summer weddings. I’ve already had inquiries for 2014, but as Owen Sound is kind of a last minute town, most people getting married only think a few months in advance.

St. Valentine’s Day is a popular day for a marriage proposals and always has been. But once the excitement wears off and reality hits, it can quickly become overwhelming.
