A Day of Prayer in Runamuk

Today was World Day of Prayer, and it was the turn of St. Andrews Runamuk to host the event.

It must have been very important that things went well. That might have been the reason why we were called Thursday evening to remind me that the Church steps had to be shovelled clean. So important a task that our neighbours were called to ask them to tell me that the steps needed to be cleaned.

This morning I called the boss to let him know that I was taking a day off so I could hack through the ice and snow before and on the church steps, make certain the place was warm, the pews were in order, the AV equipment were primed and ready to go.

The upside to this was a coffee break at Hannah's Bakery and Bait Shop for some of her nearly famous cinnamon rolls, and some Mad Elk Coffee. Um, good! Almost made the hacking worth while.

Sadly, the priest who was to the speaker at the service failed to show. Apparently, the twin otter he was to fly in on had mechanical problems. Fortunately, Rev. Candy was there to provide some leadership and continuity, so all went well.

You will have to excuse me. The kettle sounds like it is ready to boil, and there is a cinnamon bun with my name on it in the breadbox.

Later, Mushers!
