A Special 25th Anniversary Gift.....We Came...
In honour of the 25th Anniversary, the following poem was gifted to us by Christine Rumancik, great friend of QHP. We are deeply grateful for her presence in our lives and her commitment to this place through the years.
We Came.
We came as visionaries, cofounders, volunteers, guests
We came
WE came with our dreams, our enthusiasm, our labour.
We came seeking, weary, disconnected, thirsty.
We came all colours and all creeds.
We came for the soothing silence.
We came to be still..
For 25 years...we came to Qu'Appelle House of Prayer.
We sat still, we walked, we cried, we strengthened, we grew, we smiled, we laughed, we tuned
into Station 99,999 FM I AM
Today we celebrate the imprint of all who come, who bathed in the silence...the peace.
We celebrate the friendships, the feeling of oneness, the blessing of being a part of this family.
Today we celebrate in gratefulness the endless devotion and selfless perpetual service
of those who stayed for all or some of those 25 years.
We celebrate....
That we came...
What a deeply meaningful piece of poetry. You indeed have a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing this gift with us at this very special time.
