On January 12th in the afternoon, six hardy bundled up members of St. Mark headed off to Good Spirit Lake, to sanctify God's creation with a lake blessing. They gathered together at a parishoner's cabin. Together they  braved the cold weather and headed off to the lake. The temperature was a pleasant -23C but with the strong wind that day, the wind chill made it feel like -34C. The lake was blessed and the faithful gathered afterwards for snacks and hot beverages and a cabin blessing. Glory be to God for his mercies.
