Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Please remember Queen Elizabeth in your prayers in coming days and weeks.   She has served with an unstinting faithfulness to her responsibilities and with steady commitment to her faith in her words and actions.   

Almighty God, fountain of all goodness, bless our Sovereign

Lady, Queen Elizabeth, and all who are in authority under her;

that they may order all things in wisdom and equity,

righteousness and peace, to the honour of your name, and the

good of your Church and people; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  (BAS)

ALMIGHTY God, the fountain of all goodness,

we humbly beseech thee to bless our

most gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen ELIZABETH,

and all the Royal Family:

Endue them with thy Holy Spirit; enrich them

with thy heavenly grace; prosper them with all

happiness; and bring them to thine everlasting

kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.     (BCP)

In peace,

Simon+

We acknowledge that we live and work on Treaty 1, 2 and 3 territory, which, is the ancestral traditional land of the Indigenous peoples, and is common home to everyone in virtue of God, our Creator’s, gracious gift.”

As long as we breathe we have a responsibility for the cocreation of the world, for the good of the human race. We need to come to understand to the center of our souls that age is not a disease.  It is a new experience in how to live life, how to milk it dry of goodness, of energy, of gratitude, of calm and quiet creativity.  Joan Chittister, The Gift of Years, (p. 53-54).  Blueridge Publishing
