BISHOP CHANE'S
PASTORAL VISIT TO
ST. JOHN'S - BROAD CREEK
29 June 2008
Bishop Chane visited St. John's Broad Creek on 29 June 2008. He gave a very spirited sermon from his own life experience. He said we should not give up when we feel life has let us down. We should look at stumbling blocks in our lives as positive events to help us start over again.
After the service Bishop Chane joined the parish for a parish photo which is on the front page of this web site. Thank you Bishop Chane for your encouraging words and for your visit with us. He and his wife joined the parishoners for short social in the Church Hall after services.
