Walk a Mile in Another’s Shoes: Journey Through Different Lives
with Richard
In Walk a Mile in Another’s Shoes, Richard embarks on a journey to understand and appreciate the lives of others by metaphorically walking a mile in their shoes. This proverb, with roots in Native American traditions and echoed in various cultures and literary works, emphasizes empathy and understanding.
Each episode combines biblical wisdom, modern insights, and real-life examples to offer a holistic view of empathy and understanding. Join Richard as he explores how different perspectives can enrich our own lives and foster deeper connections with those around us.
This series will highlight the importance of empathy, compassion, resilience, and understanding in our daily lives.
Not the Whole Book
Episode 6:
Their Moments of Doubt
In this episode of Walk a Mile in Another’s Shoes, Richard explores how faith helps us overcome doubt. Through stories like Helen Keller’s and everyday examples, we reflect on the power of trusting the journey, even in uncertainty.

I’m sure you all want to hear updates on the building project, but the developer has been holding us at arms’ length through July and August. We’re waiting for a meeting date and an update on what’s happening. In the meantime, we received the good news that the VSB has signed their easement agreement with Hon – this was one of the very few remaining things that needs to happen to be able to break ground. We’ve also made use of our legal counsel (and Hon’s) to require an improvement to security measures at the old Fellowship Centre now that autumn is here.

Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive
Oct. 13 is Thanksgiving Sunday. Knox is once again collecting healthy and fresh food for First United Social Housing Program in downtown Vancouver. This is a very challenging time for those in need; every donation is needed and greatly appreciated.
“Committed at its heart to the struggle for social justice, First United is a place of welcome for people experiencing homelessness and poverty in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.”
Donations may be brought to the Worship Service at Knox on Sunday morning, the 13th of October. (If you are unable to bring donations on the Sunday please contact the church office to determine a time and place for delivering your donations.) During the first part of the service we will carry items to the display in the chancel. Foods will be distributed into bags following the service for delivery downtown.
As you shop think about: case lots, soups, tuna, juices, pastas, cereals, potatoes, squash, veggies, chili, coffee/tea, firm fruit, pet foods, etc. (Last year we heard appreciation for the gluten-free items that arrived.)
This Thanksgiving Grace was shared with us by First United Church …
O God, to those who are hungry,
give bread
and to those who have bread,
please give a hunger for justice.
May it be so.
Amen
