The unique pulpit cloth cross at Pike Bay United Church

And the lovely stone wall with the cross at Central United, Lion's Head

Each of those stones ... even that tiny black one at the tippy top ... represents someone in the congregation. What a lovely statement of community!

These two churches -- as lovely as they -- cannot convey what wonderful people they hold of a Sunday.

Here I spend a Sunday a month with open and loving people. They will soon have their own minister -- for whom they have waited long and hard -- and I am happy for them. I am also very grateful for their warm reception when I do show up.

I'll post more later, but I just had to share these images with you.
