A message from our incoming minister, the Rev. Barb Blois-MacNaughton:

Hello everyone at United Protestant Church,

My name is Rev. Barb Blois-MacNaughton, and I am truly excited to be joining you in ministry beginning this August. From everything I have already learned about your congregation — your deep roots in the community, your commitment to hospitality, outreach, music, and caring for one another — I can already sense the warmth and faithfulness that make this church such a special place.

I have three daughters, eight wonderful grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter who all bring great joy to my life. Outside of ministry, I enjoy knitting, quilting, reading, and just about anything connected to church life and community. I look forward to worshipping, learning, laughing, serving, and growing together with you as we discover where God is leading us in the days ahead.

Grace and Peace,
Rev. Barb

A prayer for Mother's Day.

A Mother's Day Blessing
to all those who offer mothering love in so many ways,
to birth mothers, adopted mothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, chosen mothers, grandmothers and godmothers,
to soon-to-be mothers and those yearning to be mothers,
to those of all genders who offer tender care and understanding to children,
to all who are missing their mothers and those grieving for their mothers,
to broken-hearted mothers grieving for their children, gone too soon,
and to all who carry pain in their hearts as mothers or because of mothers,
we pray that you will know God's presence with you
as you mark this day, whatever it means for you this year,
joy or grief, hope or fear, sorrow or celebration, frustration or delight.
May you know God’s love enfolding you with all the love you offer to others, and more.
God bless you, today and every day.

—Susan Lukey, High River United Church, High River, AB
