"When people are determined they can overcome anything." An important message for us today. This brand new mural was painted on a wall of Union United Church, Canada's oldest Black congregation (next to the Lionel-Groulx metro station in Montreal). It commemorates the 30 year anniversary of the ending of apartheid in South Africa and Nelson Mandela's release from prison after 27 years. It also commemorates Mandela's visit to Montreal and the Union United Church that same year... on June 19; Montreal was part of Mandela's tour due to its citizens' assistance in ending apartheid (in which Union United Church played a key role). "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13). (Artist: Franco Égalité; photograph: Dennis Wendt)

We just concluded an inspiring virtual Stake Conference, where we were uplifted by speakers from our congregations as well as Elder Gordon H. Smith of the Quorum of the Seventy. Katelyn Wendt (age 12) shared these sketches she drew of each of this morning's speakers.
