September 29 Day 31 Without little Alex to visit with, we slept in till 7:30 this morning. Both of us would much rather have enjoyed Alex than extra sleep. After breakfast we visited two very different United Churches here in Kamloops. The short journey to Mount Paul Pastoral Charge required a winding trip down the…
Sept. 29 Day 31 Today was a day of ending and beginning. Last night we said goodbye to Chris and Boris. Today, Alex and Bonnie received one last hug. The time in Vancouver has been awesome and it’s hard to see it end. Even baby Alex seemed to know we were leaving. This morning our…
September 27 Day 29 A Church on the Move. This morning we returned to St. Andrews-Wesley United Church for Sunday worship. God’s Spirit filled that sanctuary in a very tangible way.

Sunday morning in a strange church when we’re travelling…
