Stony Plain United Church

APRIL 12, 2026

Friends,

It seems that spring is dragging slowly into our lives. Somehow, I have faith that it will arrive eventually and we will have our spring, summer and fall and again, sigh, winter. The old saying "Everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it!", usually gives me a little smile. As we move into the Easter season and Christ has risen, we are moved to smile and share a little light with those around us. Like a reflection, the smile and well wishes are often returned in kind.

So, this week think of warm thoughts, share a smile and pleasant word with those around you. We will all be better for it.

Yours in Faith,
Jon Blois
Chair - SP Official Board
