First Nations neighbours on the journey of truth and reconciliation.

From the Psalm This Week …
“…Unto thee lift I up mine eyes,
O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
Behold, even as the eyes of servants
look unto the hand of their masters,
and as the eyes of a maiden
unto the hand of her mistress,
even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God,
until he have mercy upon us.
Psalm 123:1-3 (BCP)
