Join us on Sunday April 4, 2021 at 10:30AM on zoom. Contact [email protected] for a link to our service Unless we move the seasons of the self... And spring can come for us, The winter will go on and on. And Easter will remain a myth. So wrote the Rev. Max Coots, often a guest in our congregation. As we lift ourselves out of the ashes of the pandemic, we look towards a rebirth, a renaissance, or in the language of this Easter morn, a resurrection. What have learned, how will we face these new challenges?

One of the jewels of Ottawa’s Greenbelt is the Jack Pine trail, passing through marshland, old growth woods, ponds, and of course, stands of Jack Pine, white pine, and other conifers. It is a magnet for wildlife of all sorts, and also for people, especially in these times. Climate change and population growth endanger it, and it has a fatal flaw. Come and see its beauty and hear its tale.

A very happy birthday to Jean Merrifield who turned 104 on October 2nd, 2020.

Happy 104th Birthday Mrs. Jean Merrifield! Always so gracious, Mrs. Merrifield baked a batch of shortbread cookies for her friends at her residence for her birt...hday and saved a couple for me and my staff. To each individually-wrapped cookie were attached some words of wisdom to live by: "Forget about your aches and pains and try to be cheerful even in your most difficult moments." See more
