I think about the future of our church in Stillman Valley all the time . . . And I’m not talking about the building. Hence, I read posts by this one by Darryl Dash with great interest. I wonder how the story of the “bricks in the valley” will read in 100 years. What will our legacy be?

I went out for a walk with Charlene on Monday and came across the location of a prominent old church in Toronto called St. John the Evangelist [Garrison] Church.
The church began in 1858 and served the community, originally serving the soldiers and families associated with nearby Fort York. Later on it served residents who worked in local factories. The church became a leader in social outreach, and by 1931 it ran the largest free medical clinic in Canada. It ministered to pilots and staff from the nearby Royal Norwegian Air Force training camp during World War II.
