The North Shuswap Kicker
February 2021
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude. It is not self-centered, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 – 8 Love's the greatest power, And yet it may seem small. Love's a gift from God To be shared amongst us all. Love can't be described. It has no shape, it has no form. Love is not an object. Love does not conform. Love is all around you. There's plenty of love to spare. You cannot see or touch it, But love is everywhere. from “A Gift from God” by John P. Reid Ash Wednesday is February 17 Read a short reflection on our website www.stdavidschurch.info
