Happy New Year Rob! I hope you and yours are well and happy enough this joyous but Covid Christmas season. I am keeping well in my little bubble here in Pakenham with Jane.
It's been quite a while since we've talked, but as you well know, I have loved the North and its people my whole life, particularly the Cree of Moose Factory and James Bay. So when my daughter Jane asked me to become one of the apostles of the 12 days of Christmas campaign for restoring St. Thomas Moose Factory I immediately signed up. You see, I fell in love with the Cree at the beginning of my ministry and even when I was much later called back to Kingston I made it a part of my ministry to support my Cree friends at the Kingston General Hospital, providing Pastoral care, friendship and translation assistance because my spoken Cree was pretty good.
I am something of a historian and I know the power of the written word. So I became a co-founding editor and contributor to the Ministikok newspaper while I was on Moose Factory island. Each time it was published, regardless of the weather I ran around the island handing it out. I have also written many books about the North and my experiences with my friends. My Cree friends and their people will always be close to my heart.
As an apostle on this campaign, I am looking for 10 other friends to join in with me in getting the restoration of my beloved St. Thomas Moose Factory off to a good start. I donated $144 ($12 a day for the 12 days of Christmas) and I am asking you to consider doing the same. Give as you feel led. 😀
Here is the link for the GoFundMe campaign: https://gofund.me/e21a1d93.
Thanks for taking a look!
Finally Rob, feel free to forward this email to anyone you feel could be interested. May God bless and keep safe you and yours this holy season.
Peace and love,
Jim

A reflection on John 20:19-23
19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “ receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
How do these words of our Lord enter into your self, life, heart, spirit? How are these words for you?
This passage records an appearance of the resurrected Jesus to his disciples, precisely on the evening of the first day of the week, the same first day of the week that John has already mentioned as the day, the morning of the resurrection of Jesus. Along with John’s use of time and day as reference point, he also uses the physical person of Jesus as a reference point: came, stood among them, breathed on them, and audibly spoke to them.
Returning to the above reflective question, do you hear these words of John as strongly encouraging or inviting you to believe that Jesus is indeed risen; that Christ is risen indeed? Are these words giving your faith a renewal of courage or strength?
Or to put it another way, do these words of John give you empower you to believe that Jesus walks with you in this pandemic? Do these words of the Gospel give you courage to live each day in what may be our new reality of living and working in the midst of a pandemic, being more careful yet not more fearful and not paralyzed?
How did the early Church which first heard this Gospel receive its message? As we think about that question we need to recall that the early Church was dealing with considerable persecution. They may also have been suspicious and angry towards each other.
We also need to look carefully at the grace spoken by Jesus to the disciples. “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” One action? One message? Or two choices? What does it mean to retain the sins?
If I am retaining something, I am holding it for now, for a time. View sin as that which needs to be bound tightly, retained with cords so that sin cannot muck up this new day.
We journey each new day in the resurrection of Christ. Our risen and living Lord walks with us, not just keeping company with us but empowering our steps with God’s gifts of forgiveness and peace. Amen.

Our Story
St. Luke’s resides on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe.
To acknowledge this traditional territory is to recognize its longer history, one predating the establishment of the earliest European colonies. It is also to acknowledge this territory’s significance for the Indigenous peoples who lived, and continue to live, upon it and whose practices and spiritualities were tied to the land.
