Good things are coming!

Happy New Year one and all!

I recently caught up on our local newspaper editions. As you know, the postal strike delayed much of the mail lately.

As I opened the paper, I found an article about the retirement of our only local optometrist. My first reaction—though I was happy for our optometrist and his receptionist wife—was Oh no! Now where will we go? They’ve been taking care of the optical needs of our town and area for 50 years!

My mind raced: Where do we go? How do we find new people? Will we be able to trust someone else and how they do things?

As I read on, the article explained that after a few renovations, the clinic would reopen under a new name in early 2025, with a different optometrist who already runs a clinic in a nearby city. We don’t have to worry.
​
This made me think about the changes coming for the Canada Mission Centre. There will be formational changes (renovations) and new people to meet and get to know. Service locations will be expanding, but the leadership of our Mission Centre will be experienced and ready to help care for the needs of a new Canadian Mission Centre. We’ll need to trust the vision and work together to build a new path. Good things are coming!
