With a taste of spring in the air the last couple of days, we share with you some fond memories of the winter which seems to be gradually losing its grip on us. We’re Bloor St. church, so as usual, even in the middle of winter, we’re feeling new life in our roots. This issue spans yet another of our transitions, looking back while moving forward.

Some warm memories just as we settle into the cooler side of fall 2023. It’s great to be able to send these poignant photos in full colour, along with the memories that place them in context. And what a full fall it’s been!

Welcome to the breath of summer at Bloor St., just as the welcome spring-like cooler weather settles in. Here you will find reminders of cooler weather, news of some recent special events, hints of others coming up, and a couple of fond appreciative farewells — and of course, lots of sentimental photo memories. Happy reading!
