No. Their closest congregation is 26 miles away.

Hope you and your family had a lovely Easter!

I learn things in unexpected places. Monday I was taking my daughters to watch "King of Kings" at our local cinema. On the way we stopped in Bojangles chicken for some lunch and there were a few Lutheran ladies also partaking of the chicken. One of them started telling me about the VBS theme this summer and it was then I learned that the local LCMS church is just recently vacant. Pr. Andrew has moved. The lady was expressing some discontent with some of the supply pastors that they've had coming. I could do DS3 (or 2 or 4). . . but the LCMS circuit visitor would probably burst an aneurysm.

What is DS3?

Never had Bojangles! I heard it's good.

Divine Service setting 3. The Lutheran Service Book of LCMS has 5. 3 is closest to the "Common Service" adopted in the 1890s.

Were you originally LCMS, then became a continuing Anglican? If it’s ok to ask? I’m not sure how certain Protestants share ministers for word and sacrament.

Yes. I'll tell you more about that privately.

For the Canadians, I've got a conference in New York next month and noticed it's only a 3 hour run to Ottawa. What exciting things are in the capital?

We finally made it to Ontario last week. My daughters were thrilled to visit another country. That's Lola bottom left at the War Memorial which I guess basically serves as a town square. They like the poutine as well.

With few exceptions, we use DS 3; I'm good with that!

I had the privilege of preaching last Sunday.

So I'm slowly working on taking my daughters to the baseball parks that are within a days drive of our house. We've hit Cincinnati (my favorite team), Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. Next closest is Detroit then probably the 2 Chicago parks, then Washington and Baltimore and Toronto are all about the same distance, and Milwaukee and Philadelphia are just in range. They've expressed a preference to go to the Rogers Centre in Toronto next.

Enjoy the traffic; I read an article that Highway 401 is one, if not the busiest highways in North America; I will avoid it at all cost. If we are going down-town, we drive to Burlington then take the GO Train to Union Station (Cheaper to take the train than to pay for parking in Toronto) ; Roger's center is a short walk and is right beside Ripley's Aquarium, the round house museum, Fort York, and Steam Whistle Brewing (also in the round house).

If I am not going to the other side of Toronto, I will use the 407 Toll Road (not cheap), or go north of the city through Arthur, Orangeville, Newmarket. If going north, we avoid the 400 at all cost and go cross country, and catch the north end of the 400 at Horseshoe Valley Road; then north towards Sudbury.

I know a bloke who lives in Toronto and he told me they have a 2 foot long hot dog available at Jays games. I am a bit of a connoissseur of hot dogs and find that delicacy both tempting and gluttonous. I suppose we could all 3 share it.
