1 aie : ALL SAINTS ee ANGLICAN ; (COMMUNITY CHURCH 10:30 a.m. Sunday ISERVICES * S 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays ) 2nd and 4th Sundays MORNING WORSHIP § § THRIFT SHOP 2nd and 4th Wednetdays*7 to Being newcomers to Cassiar, my family and I are at last feeling a little more settled into a. routine of work and leisure, after what seems like endless days of boxes and packing paper, and where to hang this picture. or store that box. As I write this article, I see people returning home from their holidays, renewing old friendships and picking up where they left off. I've also seen many moving vans, signifying either the departure or arrival of people. And this of course means that the very fabric of the town is being altered. Relationships are being severed or begun. Various talents and skills are being replaced by others. And this can be stress- _ful for everyone. It means grieving the loss of familiar routines and structures, and grieving the loss of friends who have moved away or that we have left behind. Although bewildering, is a normal response to any nificant loss. It can be sified and complicated by the relationship we have to the social structure, object, - or person(s) lost. And grief can be experienced differently by every- grief sig- inten- one because it is made up of all or some of these common emotions: guilt, anxiety, shame, loneliness, terror, anger, bewilderment, emptiness, help- lessness, profound sadness, and despair. And each of these emotions can be experienced at different intensity levels. The thing that is important is for us not to bury these emotions, but to work through them over time. Many people believe that we only grieve over the death of a loved one. But the subconscious doesn't make such distinctions. Rather, any form of loss can be experienced as a loss of a part. of the self. And that can hurt the very essence of our being. The fact that we grieve for all sorts of reasons affirms that we. the whole God has are linked with tion that us. crea- entrusted to Cassiar, like all human communities continues to change. This is inevitable. But through all its changes, the history of Cassiar has left a legacy - a legacy of a friendly and caring community - a community that welcomes newcomers with open arms. My family and I have. experienced this already, and have heard stories that reflect this spirit. The people and structures may change, but_ the spirit in Cassiar lives on. As we encounter loss change, let each of us search creative ways to adjust to Let us grow through new ences, through meeting people, and through God. and for ante. experi- new God bless you all, Rev.
