Tanya Wiles-Bell took the lectern yesterday on her last day as Leaside United’s Christian Education Director.
Listen to her reflection here (best listened with headphones):
June 24, 2018 – 25:26: This Little Light of Mine – Tanya Wiles-Bell
She talked earnestly about her journey to Leaside United Church and how it wasn’t always easy. She persevered in the light of God and fulfilled a calling to become the Christian Education Director after reflecting on a simple note that said “Be silent and listen” … a sticky note she had posted on her bathroom mirror encouraging her to search daily for direction and answers.
We sang some of her favourite hymns like My Love Colours Outside the Lines and Draw the Spirit Wide both by Gordon Light.
Tanya shared an inspiring poem with us called The Light by Steve Taylor.
After her brilliant spoken reflection, as a memento of her own bright light, Tanya Wiles-Bell shared a token of this light she believes flows through all of us like a connected current of energy, by inviting each of us to come and collect a crystal ornament to hang in a window or a special place to enjoy and share with others.
Today she is celebrating her birthday and the first steps of her new dance in to retirement!
Thank you Tanya for your incredible ministry!
