Good evening everyone...so SaskEnergy came today and shut the gas off in the Office Building and put down the new line for the Church. This meant that the heat was off for several hours. The new line is connected, the meter is in place, the gas is flowing and the new Office Space and the Church are warming back up again...there is now no heat in the Parish Office. We still have power. The plan is that tomorrow sometime around 9 or 9:30 we will begin cleaning the New Office sp...ace followed by the movement of furniture and its arrangement and then the boxes and the sorting and unpacking. This will take time folks so please be patient. SaskPower will put down the new power line on Friday and I expect there may be some interruptions of power if not Friday then perhaps Monday or Tuesday. I shall keep you informed to the best of my ability. Thanks to the many workers, who in the midst of Covid-19 continue to work - doing their job with no small risk to themselves and their families. Special thanks to the workers who installed the gas line and to H and D Plumbing and Heating for their work. Thanks also to Viper Construction for their good work in getting the interior ready for the move. There is still work to be done but it is coming along nicely. Last but not least thanks to you, for your patience as this all takes place with changing time tables. Looking forward to the helping hands that will come tomorrow to clean, to help move furniture, set it up and then move the countless boxes! Let us remember to wear masks and keep one another safe even as we work! Have a wonderful evening!

Good morning everyone...where is this snow coming from? It feels like it snuck up on me! So just a little change of plans for our move. The plan had been that we would clean this morning and move furniture and boxes this afternoon. As it happens SaskEnergy will be installing the new gas line today...they will be shutting off the gas and therefore no heat...because time lines are not clear we will not be cleaning today or moving today. We will plan for cleaning tomorrow and... moving tomorrow. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Things are progressing - just not as I/we had planned exactly. I hope you enjoyed the little video of the Office...will give you a tour of the new space when I can.

Reflection on the Word for November 25, 2020 In the Book of Revelation, the author talks about the end of God’s wrath and how the multitudes of people who have overcome their selfish choices find themselves singing the praises of God. Perhaps one way of reducing sin in our life is by choosing to do acts of kindness. As we practice patience, forgiveness and generosity there is less room for judgments, revenge and selfishness! Let us raise our voices in songs of praise and let us lift our hands in gestures of blessing!

Here is a tour of the Old Office...Enjoy!

Got home from the parish office around 7:30...I brought with me a little tour of hte Old Office space...This is the Introduction. The tour will follow in a separate video.
