You Won't Believe This Coincidence

I attended a funeral today - the father of a good friend from our church. There were a number of other fellow parishioners there as well. One of them, Garry, asked me how my week was, and I told him of my trip to Provost, Wainwright and Lloydminster.
"Oh," he said, I'm from Lloydminster, and Shelley (his wife) is from 10 miles south and 3 miles west."
"I was just there, " I said, "And I found this little church" (see my previous post here.)
I reached for my phone and showed him the pictures I had taken.
"That's Shelley's church," he said, "Show her the pictures."

I did. I first showed Shelley the picture I had taken of the interior. She put her hand to her chest and gasped. She seemed rather choked up. She put her finger to the altar in the picture and said, "I was both baptized and confirmed right there!"

I couldn't believe it! What a coincidence! All her forefathers; parents and grandparents are buried in the cemetery there, which is still well-kept up. Her parents were married there. It was Garry's grandmother who wrote the Queen for the donation to buy the organ (link on the previous post)

And just to have a picture in this post, here is the picture I took of the exterior, which was not the one in the original post.

Holy Trinity Golden Valley

I mentioned a cross in my previous post. You can see it from the side right at the left-hand back  corner of the building. Turns out that was to commemorate Garry's mother's brother, who was born and died in December, 1914.

This was a blessing to me, so

Blessings to you,
John
