Our prayers are with all in the borderlands who are dealing with fires. We pray for the Quetico and the BWCA, for the people, animals and the land. We pray for calm, rain and safety. Peace be with all.

Quetico Provincial Park has closed Dawson Trail Campground and campsites due to wildfires – backcountry entry stations are also closed.

“May I be awake enough to notice when love appears and bold enough to pursue it without knowing where it will end.”
- Suleika Jaouad, Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted

What helps you to stay awake to opportunity in the world around you? What alerts you to love’s presence? Is there a place where you sense love’s presence in your life today? What step will you take to pursue love this week?

Happy Father's Day and Happy Indigenous People's Day!

Creator, Great Spirit,
We thank you for gathering us today to celebrate and honour the Indigenous Peoples of Canada.
We recognize the sacredness of the drum, the powerful symbol of unity, healing and connection to the earth.
As we worship, guide us to listen deeply, embrace compassion and seek understanding.
May our journey together strengthen the bonds of unity and foster the spirit of reconciliation. In your holy name we pray. Amen

Our council members met for the last time until September at the Keffer’s! It was a fun night of both work and fellowship.
