Padre Bateman preached on Perhaps and being a simple saint= being a servant and being of service. It was a very meaningful service. We are fortunate to have chaplains willing to fill in at a moments notice.

Constant change at St. George's chapel- service and officiants not always as expected
Do you like surprises? Is your denominational back ground, Presbyterian, United, Anglican, Methodist, Baptist or Apostolic? Well it is possible that you will find a home at the Protestant base chapel. I have been attending it since 2001 and am constantly surprised. Today we had a beautiful bulletin created by the Presbyterian chaplain Padre Daniel Forget. However on the front cover it said Officiating chaplain Padre Murray Bateman. At the end of the bulletin there was a special note from Padre Forget thanking Padre Bateman, who is Anglican for taking the service. The note said: I am glad that Padre Bateman was kind enough to replace me at the last minute, allowing me to represent the chaplains of CFB Petawawa at the Funeral service of the mother of our Chaplain General Padre Dave Kettle. Padre Kettle is Presbyterian.

Thanks Brenda.I always learn something new when I deal with the military chaplains.
ReplyDeleteI remember that service and you are correct, it was a wonderful message. I would like to add that I have been going to St. George's Chapel for many years (since I was 21 years young) and I've always found the multi denomination factor to be a great way of adding variety to Sunday church services and keeping it interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment "frog".I enjoy writing about the challenging of learning about the military. talk soon AC
