New Fall Vodcast Series
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.
Episode 2:
The Burden They Carry
In this episode of Walk a Mile in Another’s Shoes, Richard explores what it means to truly share the burden of someone going through a tough time, like cancer. Through the lens of Jesus’ teaching on carrying each other’s burdens, Richard discusses how simple actions can help lighten the load for our loved ones. This episode encourages listeners to find meaningful ways to support those who are suffering and reminds us that even small gestures can make a big difference.

MUSIC
It has the power to make us smile,
and bring us to all types of tears,
It can carry us back in time,
and inspire us to dance in the moment.
For all our happiest days, there is music.

There is something in the air of autumn, something about renewal, and starting fresh, about possibility and hope.
Here’s hoping that September is good to you!
Welcome and welcome back!
A few quick updates — in case you blinked like I did, and missed the summer as it roared by!
Over the summer, we were fortunate to land not one, but 2 film deals for Knox. One was for a commercial, and the other was for an upcoming movie about animals that escape from the zoo. In case you see this movie, I want to make sure everyone knows that the penguin in the sanctuary isn’t real – it’s computer generated! Together, these projects have brought much needed income for our bottom line. And in addition to these film shoots, we booked a wedding and a rental for a one-time dance group.
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.
Sharon B and I spent a great deal of time in the office this summer, working through neglected parts of our admin. This was in support of the strategic plan to become Partner Ready, and specially, the tactic to review policies and look for efficiencies in our administration and operations. Sharon and I updated our rental agreements, our rental fees, and looked at several policies that haven’t been updated for a while. Those policies will be updated and start going before the board for approval on a regular basis.
The Board’s priority this fall will be to review our governance structure — to look for ways we can consolidate our leadership, and transfer tasks and responsibilities to paid staff roles (this is also in support of our strategic plan). Once the new structure is drafted, we’ll meet with PMR to make sure we’re on a safe and legal track, and we’ll chat with the congregation about the pros and cons of the proposed new structure. With everyone’s feedback, we’re hoping to pass a motion to approve a new structure at the ACM in the first quarter of 2025.
Thank you for reading! See you in the pews.
