Twenty Third Sunday
after Pentecost
All Saints Anglican
Collingwood, ON

I’ve visited twice now and I’ve only met Rev Sharon… I’ll let you know next time I’m coming so you can plan to be away again @madpadre.bsky.social 😜
A small congregation gathers in a bright church hall with cream walls and high ceilings. People are standing in rows of red folding chairs, facing a simple altar at the front. A priest in white vestments is seated behind a table covered with a green-and-white cloth. Soft natural light comes through tall windows on the left, and an old wooden clock hangs on the wall to the right of the altar. The atmosphere feels casual but reverent.

Six black Hamilton Tiger-Cats baseball caps with various logos and designs are arranged on a bed; a cat is partially visible in the background. A black jacket with yellow and white arm stripes, featuring the text "Hamilton Tiger-Cats" on the back, hangs on a hook on the back of a bedroom door.

Unironically posting this as my #TouchPews submission for Sunday and I’ll defend this with wholehearted earnest gratitude for Bills Mafia and the Narthex and the lovely weird Anglican ven-diagram where these parts of my life overlap a few Sundays a year 🙌🏻⚓️🙏🏻
Fans in the upper deck nosebleed 300s section cheer and drum on the back of their seats to “make noise” as Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills rally to win a historic comeback game for the final home opener in the historic Ralph aka Highmark Stadium. A few seats are notably empty as many fans left early. Remaining fans are wearing jerseys, zubaz pants, colourful beads in the team colours of Red, White and Blue Social media post by Buffalo Bills chaplain Len Vanden Bos. Text: “To God be the glory. #GoBills” Photo: Bills players and their chaplain kneel together in a circle at midfield, celebrating with prayer after winning a historic game 🙌🏻🙏🏻

Update: our Little Free Library is full again! You can see Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church (Polish) in the background and our neighbourhood has literally a dozen more churches so our library is usually a mix of secular fiction and a diversity of religious books. #FacerSt #StCatharines

Visiting a cottage in Bala, Muskoka near a beautiful summer church above a waterfall but had the time wrong. Showed up just in time for coffee hour. Met the priest who mentioned the readings included “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers” so I accepted cinnamon buns, tea and a tour 🙏🏻⚓️
Front view of Trinity All Saints Anglican Church in Bala, Muskoka – A brown shingled church with steep gabled roof, white trim, and stained-glass windows. Two bright green Muskoka chairs and a Canadian flag sit out front by the walkway. Large heritage oak near the church grounds – A tall leafy oak in the foreground with the church visible in the background across a grassy slope leading to Bala Falls. Bala Falls where the Moon River flows through town past a historic portage site. Water view by the church – Flowing river water with small rapids, a bridge overhead, and the church visible through trees along the shoreline.

I’m willing to live almost anywhere in Canada and dream of retiring to the East Coast #ProvincesIdLiveIn
Map of Canada from statesidliveinmap.com, showing provinces and territories shaded by living preference. Legend: red = never, orange = reluctantly, beige = maybe, light green = willing, dark green = absolutely. The map shows British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, in light green (willing); Alberta in orange (reluctantly); Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the northern territories in beige (maybe); and the Atlantic provinces in dark green (absolutely).

Katie and 3 coworkers sit closely together at a table, smiling at the camera. In front of them are takeout containers, a can of Fuze iced tea, and an orange bowl with a few pieces of popcorn left. The vibe is casual and friendly, with posters about seasonal agricultural worker health programs visible on the wall behind them.

Praying for Rain 🙏🏻⚓️
Prayer titled “32. For Seasonable Weather” from the 1962 Canadian Book of Common Prayer. Text is printed in black with a large red decorative “O” at the beginning. 32. For Seasonable Weather. O GOD, heavenly Father, who through thy Son Jesus Christ hast promised to them that seek first thy kingdom and righteousness all things necessary to their bodily sustenance: Send us, we beseech thee, such seasonable weather that we may receive the fruits of the earth to our comfort and to thy honour; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
