It seems like we often have more questions than answers in life.

New Year, New Hope
Happy New Year! As we move past the Christmas and Advent Seasons and into the New Year we celebrated Epiphany on Sunday. This day is so significant to the work we do because it reminds us yet again that Jesus came for the WHOLE world; for ALL people. As we enter a new year and

An Event for Everyone
There were sheepherders camping in the neighbourhood. They had set night watches over their sheep. Suddenly, God’s angel stood among them and God’s glory blazed around them. They were terrified. The angel said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide: A Saviour has just been

Joy While Waiting
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice! – Philippians 4:4 I very much love the Advent wreath. There is so much symbolism to it; its circular shape is meant to represent God, the Creator and Preserver of all things. God’s love has no beginning and no end; it is eternal. There are
Sharing the Promise
Yesterday marked the second Sunday of Advent, each week continues to prepare us for the arrival of Jesus. Last week we looked on with hope. Hope for that which we wait for, hope for what is to come, hope for God’s promises to be fulfilled. This week is marked by peace. The Prince of Peace is coming,

400 Years
“Lord give me patience and give it to me NOW!” No one likes to wait. Today’s society values instant and on-demand. From microwaves to fast food, we are programmed not to wait.

I hope most of you were able to join in last week for some of the THHS Self Care week activities and the Staff Appreciation Party on Friday. It was truly a great week. It also fit so well with our monthly theme of peace. Caring for ourselves and finding internal peace can help us to
Volunteering For Peace

Of the 619, 636 Canadians, over half of them volunteered to join the effort. They volunteered to

Feel vs. Choose
There are many days I do not feel like celebrating. Last week my mother was in a car accident. We are thankful that everyone involved is okay. But we are not celebrating the fact that it happened, or the ramifications of someone else’s carelessness. Needless to say, I’ve struggled to figure out what to write
Gratitude & A Pile of Rocks
“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!” – Psalm 107:1 I love Thanksgiving. A long weekend dedicated to eating lots of good food and hanging out with family is pretty great if you ask me! It’s also a time when we are reminded of the many
