Monday, Feb. 8, the Diocese of Fredericton received word that the Ho Mobile Medical Clinic Project received a significant grant from the Rotary Foundation.

The Rotary Club of Grand Manan had applied last June for a grant to match the $50,000 USD contributed by Rotary District 7810, New Brunswick and Northern Maine, and a 50 per cent match to the funds raised by the Rotary Club of Grand Manan and the Diocese of Fredericton. The diocese and Rotary are partners in this project.

The total budget of the project, of over $265,000 Canadian, will purchase a mobile clinic vehicle, suitable for the harsh conditions of the roads in the Volta and Oti regions, and a significant number of pieces of medical equipment.

A conversation with Archbishop David Edwards about what he has seen and heard in the diocese during this pandemic. There will be a chance for people to submit questions.

Welcome to Word on Wednesdays in Lent.

Join Lisa Vaughn (Nova Scotia & PEI) and Shawn Branch (Fredericton) as they lead in a 'gospel-based discipleship' conversation. 

Gospel-based discipleship is about learning how to put the Gospel at the centre of our lives. Each week, we will look at the gospel for the day and reflect on 3 questions.

1. 1. What word(s), idea(s), or phrase(s) stand out for you?
   2. What is Jesus (the Gospel) saying to you?
   3. What is Jesus (the Gospel) calling you to do?

This joint conversation is open to all - for those working, bring your lunch and join us.

The doctor answered the phone and heard the familiar voice of a colleague on the other end of the line. "We need a fourth for poker," said the friend.

"I'll be right over," whispered the doctor. As he was putting on his coat, his wife asked, "Is it serious?"

"Oh yes, quite serious," said the doctor gravely. "In fact, there are three doctors there already!"
