Greetings from Devonwood Community Church! Like most of the province right now, we are unable to operate as usual by meeting together in our church building. This is due to the recent virus outbreak known as COVID-19, and the government-issued province-wide shutdown of any non-essential service. As part of “The Church” as a whole, the […]
JT felt different now that he was baptized. He felt energized and yet he also knew that his journey was not yet over. He was still on a journey to find Jesus. The sun was shining; the fields were lush and full of the bounty that the rain and the sun had been kind to this year.
JT started out that bright and sunny morning on his walk to the next town. Shortly, he came to a fork in the road. One road was wide and went straight up and over the mountain. He could see the steep road that went up and up as far as he could see. That road looked like it would be a long and arduous one. He wondered if there was an easier way to get around the mountain.
The other fork led to an unused path. It was barely more than a foot trail and appeared to be overgrown and not very wide at all. However, upon closer inspection, he found that it went directly between two mountains through a valley. He couldn’t see the end; however it was a much easier path to travel. This would be a great way to travel; JT was delighted and headed down this path.

One of the most escape-proof prisons in the world was Alcatraz. From 1933 to 1963 it served as an American Federal Prison and during that time 26 prisoners tried to escape but only 5 succeeded. Constructing Our Own Alcatraz Surrounded by the cold waters of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz boasted high walls, double-lock doors, guards […]
Wisdom in a Golf Shot Harvey Penick was the golf coach at the University of Texas from 1931 to 1963 and the golf mentor for some of the truly great golf professionals of all-time.

Chuck Colson, the founder of Prison Fellowship, shared the story of being invited to preach at tough San Quentin Prison. He eagerly looked forward to this opportunity since 300 of the 2,200 inmates had agreed to come to the chapel to hear him. A cache of weapons, however, were found by prison officials days before […]
The last words a dying person speaks to his/her loved ones are usually full of meaning and significance. This is especially true of the dying Jesus on the cross. The 4 Gospels record the 7 last sayings of Christ in their Passion narratives of Christ’s crucifixion. Let us take a look at one of these […]
