Dear Glen Morris,
Peace be with you! This week I am happy to offer you the following list:
10 Reasons to Connect with Your Local Minister
- You feel like you haven’t had a chance to get to know them yet and you’d like to spend time together.
- You would like someone to help you plan a prayer or ritual to mark a special occasion in your life: blessing a new home, the start of a new garden, a memorial service for the death of a pet, a sending off for a child moving away from home for the first time, preparing to move into a nursing or retirement home.
- You would like someone to listen and support you through a major life decision or challenging experience.
- You’re wondering if the church is the right place for you and want to know more about the life and work of the church.
- You would like to be connected to some resources to help you further explore a spiritual or religious question you have.
- You would like support on a project related to community building, justice work, or a passion project.
- You don’t feel comfortable going to church but still want a connection with someone you can talk to about spirituality and religion.
- You live next door and need a cup of sugar.
- You are looking for someone to preside at a wedding, baptism, or funeral.
- They are your neighbour and are happy to get to know the people who make this community so wonderful. Let’s break bread together or go for a trail walk!
Hope to connect with you soon!

Yours in Christ,
