Induction: Sights

It was a wonderful night with many joys. The Very Rev'd Keith Joyce, Dean of our Cathedral, The Rev'd Neville Cheeseman and Mr. David Watts, drove one and a half hours from Fredericton to join the parish in celebrating our new ministry. Also the Rev'd John Mills, the Rev'd David Plumber and (guess who)... the Rev'd Chris Hayes represented my colleagues here in the deanery. The Ven. Walter Williams led the service of the Word and represented the bishop in this induction. A good 80 people were in attendance representing not only the parish but also the United church and many neighbouring parishes. It was also the first time we used the festive candles behind the Altar.
