Fonthill is a wonderful little village. Nestled within its bounds is the parish of Saint Alexander, the gathering place for the faith community, especially on brilliantly sunlit mornings like this one.
The church is relatively recently constructed, not the first gathering place for this faith community, but a current testament to the strength of their faith. Within its walls people come to pray, to thank God for his continued presence, and to ask for guidance. The heart of the parish is easily discerned, for every member of this congregation seems to be intent on welcoming the stranger among them.
Music ushers all to prayer, and the story that unfolds is told, at least this part of it, in word, song and verse. People of faith receive the forgiveness and sustainance that they seek, and then are sent on their way, oh, but not before stopping, just for a moment, to enjoy a cup of coffee and a freshly-baked biscuit (made right on the premises while you wait).
A pleasure to meet you. Do come back again, and know of our prayerful presence with you in the coming week.
