 This Week at Trinity, Beamsville  Friday, September 28, 2018  Dear Friends,  This week’s reflections once seemed like they might write themselves. Riding home on the GO train Monday afternoon, after a day of learning at Emmanuel College, I started to think about how I could give you a glimpse of the seminar I’d attended… and maybe even tie it all in to this Sunday’s t...

 Friday, September 14, 2018  Dear Friends,  This week was a medley of ministry, and full of reminders of why it is a gift to serve with you here. It is also an ongoing gift to work with Scott, and to continue the various introductions. I won’t take you through the whole week, but today (Thursday) was dubbed our meal day – as in, we started the day in Vineland at a Pastors’ Bre...

Friday, August 31, 2018  Dear Friends,  There is, as I am sure you are aware, an often used phrase that reminds us that we are never too old to learn something new. Learning, education, is perhaps one of the most important aspects of human life. As we learn we become increasingly aware of the world around us and of those with whom we share this life. Through learning we grow and de...

Friday, August 24, 2018 (albeit written a few days before)  Dear Friends,  This week’s installment comes to you through the magic hands of Tania… as it always does in its sending, but particularly in its preparing this time. With all her usual ease of making my load lighter, she lovingly re-typed the long-ish blessing that follows, all so that I could pass it on to you. Such is lif...

Friday, August 17, 2018 Dear Friends, This week had one of those moments when I felt remarkably less alone… that is, less alone in panicking about the quick approach of fall and fall programs. I know that sounds rather dramatic, but it always seems to be about this time of August that, even in the heat and humidity, I have the sudden realization that summer will soon come to a close. I’m nev...

Friday, August 10, 2018 Dear Friends, This week our church building has been consumed with the beautiful sounds of a Rolling River Rampage. That may not be a typical word combination (beautiful and rampage, in particular), but Vacation Bible School is never anything close to typical, for all kinds of beautiful reasons, and this past week proved the rule. As you’ll see and hear this Sunday, ...

Friday, August 3, 2018  Dear Friends,  This week I managed to do again what I’ve said often I will not: I added another book to my collection. Book lovers like me will not understand that to be a problem, but if you’ve seen my already groaning office shelves – particularly the still-to-read section – you would know why I try, in vain, to hold off on more. However, before I divulge ...

 Friday, July 27, 2018  Dear Friends,  This week has been full of reminders of how beautiful and strong a community you are; we are, together. You know I’m completely biased, and so grateful to call myself your minister, but it really does bring joy and peace to hear from others, in and beyond this place, how you move, serve, and support so many. Colleagues in and around Linco...
