TWO SERVICES

Our day began with our church service of the  Holy Spirit reminding us to embrace all of life.

We have been called to live in relationships that reveal that we are all vulnerable and we need one another.  Every experience of life has something to tell us.

The second service reminded us to appreciate each day and the importance of family and friends.
To live more intently with compassion and kindness.
 It is a time for dad and I to renew old friendships and to support Mikie with our presence and love.


 Theresa's good friends Leanne and Kathleen are there to support her.

It is a time of saying good bye to our dear friend Chuck and a time for the family to experience closure while still carrying within their hearts the wounds of the loss of a very close relationship.
It was a time to share memories and a time to accept that life must continue.

We are reminded of the mystery of God, the mystery of the Trinity, the power of relationships.
The two services had the same message to live with respect of each other and value each day as the gift of a loving Heavenly Father, who gave His Son Jesus to teach and guide us, and who gave the Holy Spirit to live within us.  A relationship of Oneness and Diversity.

It was very good about 1oo people.
I felt very bad because we arrived late and missed the speeches
but dad insisted he did not wantto be early.

We did speak to all the family
and they appreciated our coming.
