One week from now, Rob and Rev. Marie will be on their way to Tarime (with a brief stop over in Nairobi).

Thanks so much for all your support ( every dollar of which goes to the Tarime projects, since the trip participants have covered their own expenses).

Please pray for God's work to be done in the trip - and for safety for all the travellers

overlapping circles

The visible church is all the people who get together from time to time in God's name. Anybody can find out who they are by going to church to look.

The invisible church is all the people God uses for his hands and feet in this world. Nobody can find out who they are except God.

Think of them as two circles. The optimist says they are concentric. The cynic says they don't even touch. The realist says they occasionally overlap.

(FREDRIK BEUCHNER)

Let's live in the overlap today!

Transition Update # 1

 

Christ Church has a new home!

We are happy to report that Christ Church Anglican will be moving to the Greenwood Baptist Church property on Greenwood Avenue ? just around the corner and in our neighbourhood.

GreenwoodAvenueBuilding

While there are real estate and legal matters to attend to, we are in good hands with people like Colin Dennis (who is acting for us in real estate matters) and Jane Mesich (who is the treasurer of our Diocese). Both of these people, among others, deserve our gratitude.

There are several milestones ahead of us, including completion of our final inspections of the new building, as we move towards possession of our new church building in early July. As announced this past Sunday we are planning to celebrate our final service at Christ Church on Vimy Sunday September 7th and begin our worship together at Christ Church on Greenwood Avenue on September 14th.?? We expect to have Bishop Stephen with us on September 14th and Rev. Canon Murray will be the celebrant for the September 7 service and Bishop Andrews will celebrate the first service in our new home. ...continue reading "WE ARE ON THE MOVE"

This is the first time that I have had an internet connection so am writing a short note while we are waiting for our dinner sitting in the garden of the hotel at 8pm.
?This has been an incredible experience and so far we have done 4 distributions of 416 bedkits in different areas in the western region of Uganda. Today we left at 7am for a 3-4 hour drive before reaching our destination to deliver the bedkits
and then went for lunch about 3pm before driving another hour to our hotel . Unfortunately the bus blew a tire after lunch?so we sat at the side of the road while the bus driver and one of our team members who use to be a truck driver (82 Years old) changed the tire. So it was great to get here and have a hot shower.? The Ladies of the Inner Wheel that we work with and are with us for the whole trip are wonderful and have organized everything including all the children, the bedkits delivered at each location,lunches, and the hotels.
? We begin every morning with a prayer by one of the ladies and sing songs as we journey along in this very crowded bus but it is so much fun.
?Yesterday we had a free day but didn?t get to church as it was our day for a safari and a boat ride so we saw elephants,
water bucks, water buffalo, hippopotamus, wart hogs, crocodiles, and lots of different species of birds. It was a long day from 6am to 8pm in the very hot sun but a wonderful day.
? If you go on?SCAW.org?website you can see videos of our trip.
? Dinner has arrived- hopefully I can get a connection again
