St. Barnabus Anglican Church , Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost

It was good to be back in church. I have said I’m a ‘winter Christian’ because summer and fall I so commonly am out of the city enjoying nature as a Celtic Christian. Celtic Christians see Nature as the other celebration and lesson of God.  It was good to be in communion.  I left Madigan as I was running late and didn’t want to be encumbered by his distracting ‘busyness ‘ in.  He’s especially excited when the minister’s dog is there and he can play ‘disruptive dog’.  

I missed Emily but enjoyed Honorary Asst Priest , Venerable Mavis Brownlee and Rev. Martha Cameron.  I especially love Sathia’s music and realized how I’d missed it.  All in all it was a most rewarding experience, taking communion for the first time in months.  Covid certainly disrupted my schedules and I’m trying now that fall is here to restore restore those good social activities that make the week more spiritual.  I love the church and am thankful to have been able to be there today, praying in community and feeling the presence of God in people sharing fellowship and worship.  

Thank you Jesus, Lord and Saviour
