News for Sunday, August, 2025

We are truly blessed to be experiencing such beautiful weather this week, with warm sunshine and clear skies gracing our days here on the Saanich Peninsula. This stunning display of creation, from the vibrant greens of the trees to the sparkling waters surrounding us, offers a profound reminder of God's artistry and boundless love. It is during these times, surrounded by such natural splendour, that our hearts are often most readily lifted in worship and gratitude for the magnificence of our Creator.

As we embrace these wonderful summer days, we remember the value of recreation and relaxation for our well-being. Taking time to rest and rejuvenate allows us to return to our responsibilities with renewed energy and spirit. Yet, even amidst our enjoyment, we are called to remain mindful of those in our community and beyond who may be facing hardship or loss. With ongoing troubles in other parts of the world and economic uncertainty, the need for compassionate care continues. Challenges do not pause, and our commitment to supporting one another remains essential. Let us continue to carry the spirit of God's love into all our interactions, offering support and kindness to those around us.
