This week we are holding our Fourth Annual Churchyard Cemetery Service of Morning Prayer, gathering outdoors to worship the Living God while surrounded by the graves of the saints from our Parish Family who have gone on before us. As such, our Morning Prayer service order might seem a little different today. This service has become a new tradition, and an ongoing opportunity for those in our wider community who have loved ones buried at St. Luke's to gather in prayer, bring flowers to lay at graves, and remember their lives with gratitude. Whether or not you are able to join us in person, please take some time today to remember the lives and legacies of our Christian sisters and brothers who have died and are now at peace in the presence of Jesus our Risen Lord.

Here is a great video from the folks at the Bible Project exploring how the Bible teaches us to speak truthfully of, and come to know, the Triune God. Today is also Father's Day in Canada, and so many will mark this day by remembering and honouring their fathers who have loved, cared for, guided, and raised them up. For many of us, this is a day of deep gratitude, and it is right that we give thanks along with them for those who truly embodied the gift of fatherhood. For some of us today is less straightforward, and perhaps more of a struggle... perhaps due to difficulties or losses in one's parental relationships, or for those whom the experience of pursuing fatherhood has been one of sorrow and disappointment. Along with them, we do well to acknowledge that family life is often a challenging road, and to listen to and honour their sufferings, which are also known and shared by our loving God. Whether today is a day of celebration for you, or a day of difficulty, or some mixture of both: may you receive God's blessing today exactly as it is needed. May God surround you and those you love, as well as all those who have loved and supported you, with peace, hope, fellowship, kindness, and understanding.
