Sharing our Sanctuary of Peace newsletter

Pastor Quinn offering necessities at
Tuesday Table Time. We are so
grateful for the donations we share --
and "little hottie" toe warmers!!

There's been a lot going on for Inner City Pastoral Ministry. In January, I took some time to work on a self-evaluation of my first year as pastoral associate, and was pretty amazed at the list of things that happened in that year. There's been lot of change for our community, which is soon to be known as Sanctuary of Peace -- once we get the name change finalized with banks, CRA and province. We're jumping through those hoops, slowly but surely.

In the meantime, we've put out a newsletter for our friends and supporters, and you can find it by clicking here if you're interested. I especially appreciate the first page, Pastor Quinn's reflection on the ecumenical aspect of what we do. I was delighted to nominate him for the ecumenism award pictured, and even happier to see him receive it. His impromptu speech when he received it, some of which comes through in his article, impressed everyone present to hear it.

Being part of the Sanctuary of Peace ministry team has been a huge blessing to me. The fourteen or so people with whom I work, and the many interfaith and interdenominational volunteers we see every week, not to mention our wonderful community members, fill me with great hope and joy. 

If you need a little dose of that and want to join me downtown on a Sunday, send me a message. I'm happy to bring a friend or two along.
