We have arrived at the end of the TRC official ministry year (ministry never stops, but programs do!) after this Sunday’s eucharist. It is time to take some deep breaths, find some quiet spaces, let the warm air caress our skin, and notice things peculiar to the summer season. I spoke with an old friend yesterday who lives out of province, and he said he wanted to meet the people of TRC sometime, because he knew that it would give him more insight into who I am. I liked that idea - the people I hang out with will help him to know me better. He went on to say that the only thing that is going to save us in this mad world is small communities of resilience, where people are known, and where they hold each other in high regard, and are intent on experiencing God’s presence together. I want him to meet you all, and I want you to meet him. But this should be true for us all - right? Who would you like to introduce to TRC so they might know you and God better? Something to ponder as we consider who we will spend time with this summer, and how we will make space for God to speak steadfast love and faithfulness amongst us all. GS
