Saying goodbye to St. Stephen’s, Lintlaw

LINTLAW (S’toon) — On Oct. 7, we did a sad thing and deconsecrated St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Lintlaw.

The faithful few of the congregation came out, along with parishioners from neighbouring Anglican churches for the service. A special guest and a former rector of the parish, Father Quinton Little, travelled from Ontario and attended the service as well. Thankfully, God’s love isn’t tied to a building or a place but is with us wherever we are.

A genuine legacy of love lives on through the countless lives that have been touched by the ministry of St. Stephen’s, Lintlaw.

Present for the closing of St. Stephen’s, Lintlaw were members of the congregation and parishioners from neighbouring parishes as well as The Rt. Rev. Chad McCharles, Bishop of Saskatoon ((far left); former rector, Father Quinton Little (second from left) and Ex. Archdeacon, the Venerable Alex Parsons (second from right).
