taking pen to paper

Fifty-two letters got dropped in the mail on Monday, to Canadian soldiers serving in Sinai, Jerusalem, Bosnia and Afghanistan.

Moment of Note: I didn't know we had a veteran in our congregation! What a personal pleasure it was for me to thank him for his service to Canada.

Another Moment of Note: People came who have never been to CF before - I think this event became an important one in CF's story, and I expect we will do it again.



















And an unrelated thought...wow on the municipal elections!!! Were you on the edge of your seat too on Monday evening, watching the numbers roll in? For an election that was supposed to be a snoozer, the whole city got taken by surprise, I think. Even the school trustees experienced some change. I believe God is at work, and people said with their votes that integrity is very important, whether real or perceived - that can't be bad for our city!! We sent out letters this week to every councillor (and the Mayor too) who was elected, letting them know that we pray for them in their positions of authority.

Any thoughts?
