It’s Happening in Inuvik!
By Bishop Alexander Pryor Last time we wrote about Inuvik, we said “our prayers are being answered!”. And they were. After five years of silence, after a church building sitting empty, the Lord led the way to the re-planting of a Gospel-sharing, community-focused Anglican church in Inuvik, NT. People started calling: “Is it time to reopen the church?” “I think Inuvik needs an Anglican church … Continue reading It’s Happening in Inuvik!

The Bishop’s Message: What’s the purpose of the Church?
“Arctic people are “outcome-based” people.” This was one of the first and biggest things that I had to learn when I began writing lessons and preaching in the North. University-educated southerners are trained to hint at your goal, but save it until the end of your message – your conclusion, the final paragraph, where you tie together everything that has been said. Not so with … Continue reading The Bishop’s Message: What’s the purpose of the Church?

Ministry to the Parish of Yellowknife
By Heather Durkee, ministry volunteer “We just got here” is the first thing that greets me as I open the side door of the Anglican Church in Yellowknife. (That, along with a blast of -25C air!) I look up and into the smiling face of one with bright eyes and who is sufficiently bundled against the cold of this February morning. It’s 11:53am on a … Continue reading Ministry to the Parish of Yellowknife

“Our prayers are being answered!”
God is re-planting a Gospel-sharing, community-focused Anglican congregation in Inuvik, NT The Christmas decorations were still on the walls of the sanctuary – from Christmas 2020! Sometime over the course of Covid, Ascension Anglican Church in Inuvik, NT shut its doors for the last time, as the too familiar stories of high costs, debts, and lack of volunteers caught up with the small but faithful … Continue reading “Our prayers are being answered!”
