By Prayer and Petition / February 16, 2020
Lindsay McKay gives an unusually beautiful talk about her growing up years in Yellowknife. Her family took in many foster children and one of them, Keona, stayed forever. She had extreme medical needs and the family prayed about each and every one. Gradually, she flourished and outgrew many of the dire predictions about her life. But not everything was healed. Lindsay uses this story as a magnificent entry into the complexities of prayer. She thinks that attention to life and people, loving others, and walking forward into mystery, actually is prayer. If possible, it’s worth it to look at the power point as you are listening.

Come join in our ongoing conversations about how we respond to the Vineyard Canada decision. We have been hearing broad support and enthusiasm about inviting “honourary membership” so that others can ‘stand with us as we step away.’
We’ve also secured the altvineyard.ca domain to host a website for this – and Jackets Creative has graciously offered to set this up pro bono for us!

We had a full weekend with SSU’s first annual Rain & Snow: A Winter Festival of Story and Song. Saturday night, our space was beautifully arranged for an evening of song and story. Sunday morning, we continued that theme with music and poetry. There was no recording made but for a taste of the beautiful spirit of Pádraig Ó Tuama, here is a video of him sharing some of his story.
