This week at Trinity Beamsville September 4, 2020 My almost two year-old son has a fondness for elephants. He enjoys imitating the noises they make and I think admires how adorable they are when they play. We recently watched a Disneynature program about elephants, and I became inspired by them, too.   Elephants have strong bonds and live in herds. At the first sign of danger, el...

This Week at Trinity Beamsville August 28, 2020 I have an ordinary miracle to tell of this week. It is a miracle because it is as surprising as it is sacred. It is ordinary because it is the stuff of everyday life. It comes with a story. One activity that I have embraced with gusto this season is feeding the birds. Our family has enjoyed their jovial company. We have done so without expe...

This Week at Trinity Friday, August 21, 2020 Dear Faith Family, I have just returned from what was a rejuvenating time in Campbellford, on the Trent. In my time away at the cottage, I had the opportunity to do some kayaking. I took in with joy the feeling of gliding along the water, the sound of the water against the vessel, the delicate ripples of water around the paddles. The water wa...

This Week at Trinity, BeamsvilleFriday, August 14, 2020 I was lamenting to my husband Dan recently that our grass had turned quite yellow. We're not people who tend to have manicured lawns by any means, but it looked sad. He reminded me that grass goes through seasons of drought and always seems to come out green again. What a beautiful reminder.  A few days ago, we had quite a downp...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville For Friday, August 7, 2020 Dear Friends,             This week I’ve been working extra hard to look ahead.  Arguably, accurately, that has been a regular part of every day since the first part of March.  Looking ahead, dreaming and hoping ahead, have been interwoven in every decision, every ...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville For Friday, July 31, 2020 Dear Friends,             This week I had a strange moment of stepping back in time, sort of.  For some context: I’d finished the CBC series I was watching from the treadmill and, after seeing some social media post somewhere, about Grey’s Anatomy building future scripts...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville For Friday, July 24, 2020 Dear Friends,             This week I arrived at the church, about my usual time for our Sunday service recording.  Some would say it’s an early start to the day, but in these hot weeks we’re grateful for a little bit of time for the sanctuary air conditioning to make it...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville For Friday, July 17, 2020 Dear Friends,             This week I actually had a bit of an advance plan for these musings… and a draft in hand (the tried and true, handwritten way) by the middle of Tuesday.  Later on Tuesday, some news came through that added another, very unexpected layer.  ...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville For Friday, July 10, 2020 Dear Friends,             This week I’m writing to you just after we’ve finished our Sunday service recording.  Sometimes I get ahead of things and have this done for our home packages to be printed all together.  Sometimes I don’t, and today is one of those times.&...

This Week at Trinity, Beamsville For Friday, July 3, 2020 Dear Friends,             This week we’re launching into our summer worship series – which really isn’t much of a news flash, for this time of year.  It’s been our practice for the last few summers and more, to move into a time of extended focus, a little more in the seas...
