Welcome to our Blog !


It isn't always easy to decide what to write about in a first post such as this , but I think I'll start with things close to home.

I don't know whether you've noticed , but the Trumpeter Swans have arrived in the Valley from Alaska and the Yukon. We saw four of them cruising over the estuary on Wednesday , and later on in the day , we saw more, relaxing in the fields of Woodrow farms. And for me , perhaps more than the turning of the leaves and the coming of Autumn winds and rain , the return of the Trumpeter Swans is more indicative of the coming of Fall to the Comox Valley. As you know , they will now be with us until March.

I am new to the world of blogging, so I hope I have this right? I am very pleased with our churches new website; and especially this link to Family on Fifth. How blessed we are to have such a thoughtful and creative membership at St. John the Divine!

Many thanks for your comment Fr George. Indications are that we are now truly on the internet highway!
