Christ Church Anglican, Meaford, has welcomed a remarkable new addition to its WWII memorial: a propeller blade from the Hawker Hurricane flown by Sgt. George “Geordie” Stevenson, a parishioner and the first citizen of Meaford to die during the Second World War. The artifact, preserved for decades in Scotland and recently gifted to Sgt. Stevenson's descendants by the Leadhills Miners’ Library, now serves as a tangible link to Stevenson’s sacrifice and service. Sgt. Stevenson's family has asked that the propeller blade remain at Christ Church, where he had been a valued member of the community. Its arrival strengthens the church’s longstanding commitment to remembrance while celebrating enduring ties of friendship and gratitude between Canada and Scotland. A special service to mark the 80th anniversary of Christ Church's internationally recognized WWII Memorial Windows and to dedicate the propeller blade will take place on Saturday, August 15 at 2pm.

In the column, As I See It, the Rev'd Jim Innes writes, "It reminds us that our world holds both calm and turbulence, gentleness and upheaval, all at the same time. And it points to the truth that inner steadiness is not the absence of turbulence, but the ability to endure it and remain hopeful, creative, and, most importantly, compassionate." Read the story here:

AS I SEE IT By Rev. Jim Innes THIS YEAR'S spring season here in Grand Bend has brought both comfortably warm, mild days and bitter, windy days. Some days the waves gently lap the shore, while on other days they crash loudly. It is a season of transition, a time of natural tension, holding calm...

On July 13, churches across Southern Ontario are invited to come together in prayer, gratitude, and support for the men and women who spend months at sea, often far from family and home.

Sea Sunday is a meaningful opportunity to recognize the challenges faced by seafarers like long days, dangerous working conditions, and isolation, and to reflect on the essential role they play in our daily lives.

Yesterday, as work continues on the Leighton Archives Project, Tom Adam, Chair of the Archives Relocation Working Group, and Archivist Dez Nacario took a break from unpacking in the new space to welcome MPP Terence Kernaghan for a tour of the archives.

Terence was visiting the Diocese of Huron to honour Camp Huron’s 80th anniversary, and we were delighted to share a glimpse of the archives’ new home and the work underway to preserve and steward our history.

Thank you, Terence, for your visit and interest in the project. And thank you Tom and Dez for generously sharing your time and expertise.

Earlier this month, Camp Huron reached its original Say Yes! to Kids goal of $25,000. Thanks to the incredible response from supporters across the Diocese of Huron, the campaign is now within striking distance of its stretch goal of $35,000.

To everyone who has given—thank you.

From ACWs and deanery councils, to parishes, camp alumni, families, and individual donors, Huron Anglicans have rallied around Camp Huron this year like never before.

As Camp Huron celebrates its 80th summer and this year’s Star Stuff theme, these gifts are helping provide camp bursaries and ensuring more children and youth can experience the friendship, confidence, belonging, and joy that camp makes possible.

If you haven't made a gift yet, there's still time to be part of this remarkable story.

💙 Donate today at www.camphuron.ca

Together, we're helping the next generation shine.

The Rev. Chris Brouillard-Coyle writes in the article, Recycling and Composting Program Challenges, "How intentional can we be in the choices we make to reduce what we throw away?

There are a lot of things we take for granted. It is a privilege that we don’t have to think much about what we throw away. The consequences of that privilege, however, are significant. Google the “great pacific garbage patch” when you need a reminder that there is no ‘away’. Garbage doesn’t just disappear." Read the full story here:

By Rev. Chris Brouillard-Coyle THROW IT AWAY! Out of sight, out of mind as the saying goes. The handy availability of garbage bins in today’s world is a wonderful convenience. We have the privilege of not needing to think too much about what happens to our waste once we put it in the garbage...
