Anglican Parishes of Aylesford and Berwick

St. Mary's Anglican Church in Auburn joins the rest of Nova Scotia celebrating the great resiliency of our province and one of the country's most iconic treasures, our beloved Bluenose.

Our churches are re-opening slowly. That is such a wonderful thing. However, we can't sing in church so we decided to hold a "jam" outside and bring a little music back to St. Mary's. What a lovely way to celebrate together and provide a little Covid relief with proper social distancing of course.

A beautiful evening in Auburn. St. Mary's is quietly waiting behind her curtain of maples for all of us to gather again. We wait and we pray.

We celebrate Pentecost to recognize the wondrous gift of the Holy Spirit acknowledging that God's very life, breath and energy were given to us. We light a candle and enjoy the flickering light, the fragrance and warmth it creates. But without the spark that ignites, there will be no flame. Without the wax, the source of power, the wick will not burn. Without the flame, there will be no fragrance, no warmth, no light.... And so with us, Lord. You are the catalyst that ignites us, and the fuel that sustains us. You fill us with your fragrance as you enter our lives. You empower us to carry your flame in our hearts to be the fragrance, warmth, and light of your love, in this dark world. See more

The long night is over. "Alleluia, He is risen! He is risen indeed, Alleluia"
