Praise and Thanksgiving
By Bishop David Parsons I recently returned to Yellowknife from Hampton, NB. where Rita and I purchased a house for our retirement. Praise the Lord, the house is just 100 yards down the road from where our grandchildren, daughter-in-law and son live. We do not actually retire until January 1st 2025 but the move will take a few stages and this part was to transport … Continue reading Praise and Thanksgiving
Praying for a Church Planter in Inuvik
Sometimes churches close. That’s always a sad situation: sad for those last few members (usually tired, overwhelmed, and facing burn-out), sad for the community as a whole, and sad for the wider church as we carry out our mission to bring the Gospel to every community. Sometimes churches reopen. Sometimes all it takes is a new lay leader, or perhaps a new minister, and then … Continue reading Praying for a Church Planter in Inuvik
Prayer Request: We’re like too little butter spread over too much bread
By Archdeacon Alexander Pryor Over Christmas break, on a much-needed day with nothing on the calendar, I watched all three The Lord of The Rings films with my family. Near the beginning of the first movie I found myself struck by one of the many profound lines written by J.R.R. Tolkien for the character Bilbo Baggins. He says, “I feel thin, sort of stretched. Like … Continue reading Prayer Request: We’re like too little butter spread over too much bread
“God prepares the way for us!”
He prepares us long before we even know how our skills will be used By the Rev. Abraham Kublu, Priest for South Baffin area, based at St. Jude’s, Iqaluit God always prepares us way before things will happen. Before I became who I am today, God was preparing me for my work, and that causes me to humble myself in front of Him. Over 10 … Continue reading “God prepares the way for us!”

Bishop David’s Message: Seeing God’s Provision in the Rear-View Mirror
Rita and I met in Hay River, NWT where we both worked for Canadian National Telecommunications (CNT) the parent company of several phone companies across Canada. We had a good income and plans to use that income to travel the world for two years. Then, during our travels, I got the sense that God was calling me to ministry, a ministry that I could not … Continue reading Bishop David’s Message: Seeing God’s Provision in the Rear-View Mirror
God Still Does Miracles!
Seeing signs of God’s abundant provision across the Arctic It’s so easy to get sidetracked, weighed down by the cares and concerns of everyday life in this fallen, messy world. This edition of the Arctic News is a reminder not to believe the distractions. When we stop, reflect, and remember, we’ll find that God has provided, and will provide all that we need to be … Continue reading God Still Does Miracles!
Financial Update: Working Hard to Close the Gap
We began 2023 with a bugeted deficit of $727,636. Increasing costs of travel, insurance, and fuel have been significant over the past couple of years, coupled with the need for the diocese to become self-supporting, as the shrinking Anglican church in the South means that the Council of the North grants (which at one time provided enough for nearly all stipends for priests on mission … Continue reading Financial Update: Working Hard to Close the Gap
