Face the sun

We have just had the most amazing Thanksgiving weekend. Sun. Warmth. More sun.

So easy to feel positive and thankful on a warm sunny day in October. But what about the rest of the time?

Thanksgiving Weather

Posted on: 10/07/2011 20:01

I appears that London (and, I assume, the rest of Southwestern Ontario) is getting a very nice bit of Indian Summer this weekend. Highs in the low to mid twenties, lows getting back above 10 after deeping into the low single digits a week ago. Last weekend, I fired up the furnace. This weekend, I'm opening all the windows. How's the long weekend weather elsewhere?

Moderator Mardi Tindal's blog: Conversations at the table

Posted on: 10/12/2010 11:17

Saturday’s Saskatoon StarPhoenix got it right: I’m boarding the Spirit Express this morning as the means by which to continue participating in all kinds of “conversations at the table.” I am grateful for many opportunities to share myriad concerns and joys of members and leaders, and for the ways your concerns and joys lead you—and me—into deeper participation in God’s healing work.

One Thing You Give Thanks For....

Posted on: 10/10/2009 23:37

In 10 minutes, it will be Thanksgiving in my time zone.  The clocks have already switched in the area to the east.

 

 

So, for those who wake up......maybe from a restless night....maybe to a babies cry, or a teen who isn't home yet.....or just the normal morning wake up..

 

what is one thing you give thanks for.

Scarcity, Abundance, and Thanksgiving

Posted on: 10/08/2009 15:57

A few years ago, my southern Ontario congregation decided to host a regular Sunday supper for anyone who needed it. My husband and I became team leaders and spent every third weekend from November to April shopping, cooking, and serving a meal for as many as 120 people.

After a couple of years, we and other volunteers began to feel the strain of this commitment. In fact, the coordinator even wondered if we might have to end the dinner, though it filled a critical need during the cold winter months.

Moderator Mardi Tindal's blog:Listening to the earth in new ways

Posted on: 10/08/2009 09:24

Welcome to my blog — a place to reflect with me on God's healing of soul, community, and creation. I hope you will visit often and be part of this sacred conversation.

My first official stop as Moderator was on the beach at Naramata Centre on Wednesday, August 19. Within a cathedral of light reflected by earth, lake, and sky, the community gathered for worship. Lake Okanagan was at my back as I donned the moderatorial stole for the first time since the installation service. As I draped it over my shoulders, the fringe of the stole touched the sand at my feet. My immediate reaction was to gasp and blurt out to the crowd “Oops—don’t tell anyone it touched the ground!”
