Dean's Creation Challenge: Be a Good Steward“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” - Psalm 24:1 - Thursday, August 29, 2024 God is the ultimate owner of everything in the world. We are merely temporary caretakers or stewards of God's possessions. Good stewardship involves acknowledging this truth and using the resources entrusted to us in a way that aligns with God’s will and brings glory to God's name. During the Season of Creation [Sept 1- Oct 4], I challenge each of us to find a way through action that we can acknowledge that Creation is God's and we are called to be good stewards of it for God. Using the critical thinking skills God has endowed us with we can discern ways to be better stewards. What will we do?

Come and Journey: Cathedral Week 2024 at Sorrento CentreSubmitted by Jane Dittrich ODNW (Cathedral Representative to Sorrento Centre) “For the beauty of the Earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from birth over us lies. For the joy of human love, friends on Earth and friends Above” (Folliott Sanford Pierpoint, 1864) ‘Cathedral Week’ (July 21-27 2024) at Sorrento Centre was a huge success! All whom attended from our parish had a great time! In addition to our parishioners whom are regular attendees there, nine Cathedral first-timers to Sorrento Centre came for this week which was wonderful. Cathedral parishioner Kerry Baisley ODNW and former Christ Church Cathedral interim rector the Rev. Canon Dr. Richard LeSueur co-led a course called “Can the past be reconciled: Two histories, two lands” and the Rev. Shawn Sanford Beck from Saskatchewan led a course called “Celtic wisdom in changing times”. Cathedral parishioners enjoyed reconnecting with Canon LeSueur and his wife Rhonde. Children enjoyed varied morning programming and outdoor activities led by the Centre’s summer youth staff. The weather was typically very warm and sunny, and in true BC Interior weather form, one brief yet significant windstorm did occur, sending those guests who were camping scrambling to secur their setups. But as a bard famously told us, “All's Well That End's Well”! [...] For more infomation visit: http://thecathedral.ca/news/come-and-journey-cathedral-week-2024-at-sorrento-centre
