What Did You Do for Your Summer Vacation?
By The Rev. Canon Christopher B.J. Pratt
I have the impression that, for many of us, that question filtered through school time conversations in September.
There were some families that always seemed to head off to familiar territory. A family cottage filled with memories provided a centrepiece of family life. Keep reading.

'Apparent Magic' of Christopher Nolan's Odyssey
By The Rev. Allie McDougall
Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey was undoubtedly the buzziest and best of the summer blockbusters.
It had all of the makings of an instant classic. From a technical perspective, it is an achievement in filmmaking that showcases Nolan’s commitment to an immersive theatrical experience. Keep reading.

Discipleship
Stewardship begins with discipleship. The question is not simply, “How much of my money should I give to God?” but something much larger: “How shall I faithfully care for everything God has placed in my hands?” Our time, abilities, relationships, bodies, possessions, and creation itself are entrusted to our care. Stewardship begins when we dedicate all that we have and all that we are to following Jesus.
