Not only did this crew do an excellent job, and making sure our property was absolutely clean following their work, but they were a pleasure to have working on our roof. No radio blaring, no foul language, cheerful, great team work, all around pleasant to be with.

Makers' Market at the Christ's Church Cathedral, Hamilton, Ontario

Christ's Church Cathedral      Makers’ Market was started by Cathedral volunteers as a way of providing local artisans with space and opportunity to market their craft. This church knows who they are and why they are here: they are a "place of community, compassion and hope", and the are "Praising God in heart of the city".

 

Beside the beauty of the place, it's a beautiful thing that the church shoved aside its pews to make room for the Makers' market.

Jean's Flowers (Indoor)

It's called a "Christmas Cactus" because it tends to bloom around Christmas time.  Jean has it blooming at many points in the year.  This photo was taken near the beginning of November. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlumbergera  And just in case: http://www.wikihow.com/Care-for-a-Christmas-Cactus

Intentional and Geared-Up

On our morning walk (usually along the Grand River), saw this guy fishing.

Do you think he'll catch fish?  Of course he will. If I sit on the shore watching him, will I catch any fish? Of course not.

So I thought about the church;  if the church is as intentional and geared up to catch people, to 'fish for people' as Jesus said (Mark 1:16-17) ... well, you see the point.

And yet churches sit and wait, and are bewildered why they're not 'catching' anyone.
