Bishop's Lenten Books for 2021
This year, Bishop Susan Bell has chosen to recommend two books for Lent: Seven Spiritual Gifts of Waiting by Holly Whitcomb and The Way of St. Benedict by Archbishop Rowan Williams.
A source of inspiration for the bishop’s most recent charge to synod, Seven Spiritual Gifts of Waiting is well suited to a time of pandemic, especially during the season of Lent. This book presents seven spiritual gifts that waiting can teach us: patience, loss of control, live in the present, compassion, gratitude, humility, and trust in God.
The latest work by Archbishop Rowan Williams, is being recommended for individual study as a way growing in one’s faith and discipleship. The Way of St Benedict explores the appeal of St. Benedict's sixth-century Rule and shows it to be a document of great relevance to contemporary Christians and non-believers alike. The book speaks to the Rule's ability to help anyone live more fully in harmony with others while orienting themselves fully to the will of God.
Both books are readily available through online book suppliers at an affordable price.

THE INUIT OUTREACH PROJECT

OUTREACH BEGINNINGS
The Inuit Outreach Project was put into action several years ago at St. Paul's Anglican Church.
Dagny Langer was the catalyst behind this ministry work. For over 25 years Dagny and her husband Ken while living in Montreal opened their home and their hearts to babies from the north needing foster care, many arriving with just the clothes on their backs. To make the story more remarkable these infants and children needed medical treatment which meant Dagny was required to spend hours at hospitals and setting up doctor's appointments for fragile youngster's. She continues her ongoing support in partnership with our church, which once involved the cluster churches, St. John's, St. Stephen's and St. Paul's.
One year ago The Church of Apostles in Guelph supported the Inuit Project by starting a programme called Sew North. This successful campaign resulted in over 100 sewing machines plus sewing kits for our Inuit neighbours in Nunavut (Hudson Bay) and Nunavik (northern Quebec.)
Most importantly the Inuit Outreach Project would not be possible without the ongoing support of Makavik Corporation. Their support for our mission work is instrumental in assuring transportation to as many as 12 northern communities in the north by air.
The Inuit Outreach Project works within our community to collect children, youth and newborn clothing including diapers. Sports equipment is very much appreciated new or used. As indicated our earlier shipment of sewing machines and sewing kits was greatly appreciated and the next shipment will include these items too.

Food in the North
Changes in climate and settlement by more people from the south has changed the way Inuit people live and provide for one of the most basic needs - food.
Sure, they can ship food and other essentials from the south, but at what cost? Literally, how much do you think it costs for a few basic items?
Take a guess how much these items cost in Iqualuit?
