What’s Your Goliath?

March 21, 2020 By Rev. Michael Caines

May we who are merely inconvenienced Remember those whose lives are at stake.


May we who have no risk factors Remember those most vulnerable.


May we who have the luxury of working from home
Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.


May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
Remember those who have no options.


May we who have to cancel our trips Remember those that have no safe place to go.


May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
Remember those who have no margin at all.


May we who settle in for a quarantine at home Remember those who have no home.
 

As fear grips our country, let us choose love.


During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors.


Amen.

Song: “House of God Forever” by John Foreman

Rev. Michael Caines

I live to answer the question: “So how did you go from civil engineering to becoming a priest??” I have been here since 2008 when I arrived as the assistant. Since 2012 I have been leading the church as the Priest-in-Charge, and now as the full-time Lead Pastor. I grew up in Sussex, N.B. and then studied Civil Engineering at UNB Fredericton. After a brief period in youth ministry my wife and I moved to Uganda to teach and work at an Anglican Secondary School. After that, I studied at Wycliffe College in Toronto, ON and was ordained in 2008. I served with the Naval Reserve for a number of years but now as the Chaplain for 3 Field Artillery Regiment in Saint John and Woodstock, N.B. I love the outdoors and in my down time I enjoy running, sailing and playing music, but most importantly, time with my family.
