Edhird's Blog

This Sunday we begin a series of sermons based on “A Rule Of Life.” Written in the 1540s the Rule of Life says: “Every Christian man or woman should from time to time frame for themselves a RULE OF LIFE in accordance with the precepts of the Gospel and the faith and order of the Church.” This is a great spiritual exercise during the Lenten season as we prepare for Easter. This Sunday the Rev. Dr. Ed Hird begins our Lenten preaching series with a sermon entitled: “Fleeing From His Real Presence ” (Psalm 139:1–12) And… don’t forget, we formally start our Lenten season next Wednesday with our Ash Wednesday service, a combined service with the White Rock Lutheran Church. White Rock Lutheran’s pastor Norm Miller will preach a sermon entitled “It’s All About Relationships” (Joel 2:12–17).

So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:

Peace Arch News,

Letter to the Editor

Many local South Surrey/White Rock residents, like myself, are excited to read PAN reporters Lauren Collins & Tracy Holmes’ article on quality local residents Kerry-Lynne Findlay & Darrell Jones throwing their hats in the ring for the Conservative BC Leadership race. Both know the local area well. Kerry-Lynne is right that ‘crime & chaos is spreading.’ Darrell is also right that ‘business owners shouldn’t be extorted for simply trying to make a living.’ 

Many of us recently attended an anti-extortion rally on the very day that an innocent Crescent Beach family had a fire set and shots fired. We must all stand with the Punjabi South Asian community in this serious crisis. Why must many hide in their basements to protect their families from drive-by shootings? 

Thankfully the police arrested three ‘foreign national’ suspects with expired student visas. When will the flood of unvetted foreign ‘students’ be corrected? How many are still illegally in our country? Enough is enough. Frank Bucholz is right that we need ‘tangible results.’ Let’s arrest & deport the extortionists, and make Surrey safe again for all families.  

Rev Dr Ed Hird
