My Eastern Synod-ELCIC colleagues and I were blessed to help with the harvest at the @anishnabeg Eminidowang Kitigaan (Spirit Garden for Everyone)! Thank you Stephen and Tammy for providing this rich opportunity! #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation

Great to worship with Pastor Martin Malina, Beth the fiddler, and the congregation of Faith Lutheran Church in Ottawa today ⁦Eastern Synod-ELCIC⁩. We affirmed that nothing shall ever be able to separate us from the love of God. A message for these difficult days and all days.

Great to see the 🇨🇦 delegation, wonderful that Canadian Lutheran World Relief staff Fikre Mariam Tsehai is a non-gvtal member of Candel.

Please join us in praying and advocating for a world without gender-based violence. At this time of pandemic, we must be aware of the increased number of people experiencing violence, especially partner violence. #ThursdaysInBlack

How good to break bread in the sanctuary and in the basement with the congregations of St. Mark’s, Chesley and St. James, Williamsford today ⁦Eastern Synod-ELCIC⁩. Fed to go out and serve the people of God especially those in greatest need.

@pastorjcrouse your congregation was once again doing good in the community with their adopted park. Wonderful to have a few local residents thank parishioners for the work they did today. Bishop Michael Pryse City of Ottawa Jim Watson

A lovely start to the day as I led worship at Elmwood/ Brant Township ⁦Eastern Synod-ELCIC⁩. The sunrise was a wonderful reminder that God is not done with this troubled world and neither should we be.
