1. Love Never Fails

Here is our first Sunday Morning Podcast from the Shelburne/Primrose Pastoral Charge in Ontario. You are so welcome to download it for what every purpose would make the world a more delightful place.

As well, we offer the four pieces of original music within the podcast to be downloaded and used for any podcasts/services/ministries/initiatives that you may be doing.

May grace, even in the midst of challenge, be the gift we continue to give and receive. > Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency.

Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth’s treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal... To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.

Despair demands less of us, it’s more predictable, and in a sad way safer. Authentic hope requires clarity—seeing the troubles in this world—and imagination, seeing what might lie beyond these situations that are perhaps not inevitable and immutable.

What we dream of is already present in the world.
