This Sunday’s public worship will be at St John's Anglican Church (9:00 AM), led by Canon Walter Williams.

Last evening the Wednesday summer services at St Mark’s began their 16^th season, continuing into September. Prior to the service Marjorie Burtt Lyons offered a moving piano meditation. It concluded with “Be Still, for the presence of the Lord”, the hymn with which for many years we opened the summer series. The whole service was a quiet, satisfying way to end a busy day.

There is good news. Few local crimes provoke more just indignation than a trusted caregiver defrauding the vulnerable. Such was the lead story from Woodstock Provincial Court, as reported in the River Valley Sun’s June issue (p20). Rising above the years-long betrayal of trust was the response from victim Patty Connors, a well-known athlete and co-creator of the award-winning summer flower display outside St Luke’s. In court she said to her predator: “It’s alright. I forgive you.”
