Was looking at the website for an Anglican church in Toronto (here).
This line in the description of one of their services caught my eye:
A lively evening of worship and praise with mostly contemporary music and with Communion. Faithful Biblical preaching is a necessary component of all our worship services.
Seems self explanatory that this would be necessary and important, but in my experience it is true far too little of the time.

Workday ending
mmm... it's been a quiet day. I made several phone calls, scheduled a conference call for our board of directors, did various clerical tasks, and answered about 30 incoming calls. I also arranged for maintenance on our filing system, and sorted the mail, and receipted cheques. These are the things that mark my days lately.
For those who might be interested, Tony Campolo is speaking at Dalhousie Community Church in the evening on Thursday, October 26, 2006. Tickets are $25, and can be purchased by phoning 403-275-6935. The evening is a fundraising event for Mennonite Central Committee Alberta's prison ministry. If you've never heard Tony speak, you should jump at this opportunity. He's one of my favorite communicators of all time. And besides, I'll be there, so you can come and hang with me - I'll be the one with a bunch of old women. I invited my grandma to come with me, and she in turn invited some neighbors and friends. None of these wonderful old ladies drive - my grandma's condition in coming was that I would need to do the driving for the evening! So look for my not-so-grey head next to a bunch of white ones!

First Snow
It's snowing today. It was dark when I walked to the train this morning, probably because it's one of those wintery days where the sun doesn't so much come up as the grey simply gets lighter. My hair was caked with white when I arrived at work.
It would appear that I'm going to spend a significant chunk of the day making phone calls. Not exactly my favorite pastime, but one that I suppose needs to be accomplished.
And, just as a good way to start things off, here's a quote from C.S. Lewis that I came across today: “I believe in God like I believe in the sun rise. Not because I can see it, but because I can see all that it touches.”
Not that the sun really rose today... but a good reminder nonetheless
