Greetings from Kootenay Presbytery
Hello to our brothers and sisters in Christ from Kootenay Presbytery. We’re fortunate to have our moderator, Mardi Tindal, (@MardiTindal) joining us to share wisdom, tell us what she has experienced in working on behalf of our our planet, invite us into that work and join with us in our various sessions and meetings.
With the help of Peer Spirit Circle Training leaders, Ann Linnea and Christina Baldwin, we continue to learn new skills for group interaction. We hope to honour each other as we endeavour to examine our positions on the remit questions. It’s intense work, with wonderful meals and hospitality extended to all participants by Kimberley United Church and Christine Dudley. Thank you to everyone who has made this important weekend happen.

Good Friday and the Stations of the Cross
Today, about 40 people from Communities in Faith Pastoral Charge and St. Andrew’s Anglican Church observed the tradition known as “The Stations of the Cross” beginning at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church and leading back to the cenotaph in downtown Trail. At stops between, Jesus’ journey was re-enacted, with participants reading biblical passages from the Gospel of John, Chapters 18 & 19, and singing verses from the old spiritual “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?”
Two people were taking photos – some have been uploaded here. May they give viewers a glimpse into the experience we shared.
