00:00:00.000 We want to take a moment to honor our dear friend Laurie Baird, one of Action for Canada's beloved chapter leaders and our BC provincial lead, who went to be with our Lord on Sunday.
00:00:20.840 I've been walking this lonesome road, carrying burdens heavy and cold.
00:00:29.280 But a voice keeps calling me, come my child and you'll be free.
00:00:38.380 Oh, my heart, don't be afraid, grace will lead the way.
00:00:46.680 I'm homeward bound, no turning back.
00:00:55.160 Jesus waits with open arms, guiding me where mercy starts.
00:01:13.640 I've seen valleys, I felt the rain, wandered lost in fear and pain.
00:01:31.400 But His light breaks through the night, now I see with heaven's sight.
00:01:39.880 Oh, my heart, don't be afraid, grace will lead the way.
00:01:48.880 I'm homeward bound, no turning back.
00:01:56.880 Jesus waits with open arms, guiding me where mercy starts.
00:02:16.880 Oh, my heart, don't be afraid, grace will lead the way.
00:02:26.180 I'm homeward bound, no turning back.
00:02:37.960 Through every storm
00:02:42.640 Through every track
00:02:46.920 Jesus waits with open arms
00:02:53.060 Guiding me where mercy starts
00:02:57.660 Yes, I'm home
00:03:01.940 I'm home at last
00:03:07.960 Well, thank you everybody for joining us tonight
00:03:15.420 We had some sad news this week
00:03:18.140 Our precious sister Lowry
00:03:26.840 Had a very short battle with cancer
00:03:31.040 Several months ago we found out
00:03:33.680 She was so amazing
00:03:35.520 I've been on the front line battling with Lowry for years
00:03:39.440 She was our Kelowna chapter leader
00:03:41.020 And moved up to our provincial lead as well
00:03:44.320 And I just wanted to add a few words to this video
00:03:47.700 It was a small tribute
00:03:48.700 But if you go to her photos on her Facebook page
00:03:52.420 I mean, her life was so full
00:03:54.060 You could see that she touched the lives of so many people
00:03:58.660 She had so many friends
00:04:00.280 She was actively involved with David Lindsay and Clear in Kelowna
00:04:04.260 And all of the rallies
00:04:05.240 And she was my comrade in arms in Kelowna
00:04:09.980 I mean, the superintendent there, Kevin Cardell
00:04:12.960 This school board was, I think, one of the worst ones in all of Canada
00:04:18.060 As far as indoctrinating our children and knowing of the harms
00:04:21.740 And we came up against them
00:04:24.580 She did the prayer walks for a revival
00:04:26.280 Remember the story when some bricks fell out of the building?
00:04:29.300 After they went seven times around the school board
00:04:31.880 And it ends up being outside
00:04:33.640 Two stories up outside of Kevin Cardell's office
00:04:36.600 And we just thank the Lord for his movement in Kelowna
00:04:40.500 She was also on the front line
00:04:43.180 In exposing the drag queens in Kelowna 1.00
00:04:45.800 And the concerns
00:04:46.480 She battled for our children fiercely 0.55
00:04:49.300 And she loved this country
00:04:52.440 She went to the private RCMP meetings with me
00:04:56.900 In Kelowna as well
00:04:59.840 In trying to call out those who were behind harming our children
00:05:03.740 And she was always just ready to go
00:05:05.780 If there was any papers that needed to be served
00:05:08.760 Or anything that needed to be done
00:05:10.200 She was there
00:05:10.860 And you saw all of the pictures of her with her dog
00:05:14.660 I remember travelling in her vehicle
00:05:16.420 And the pup would be in the back with the head out the window
00:05:19.880 And she adored her son
00:05:22.200 He absolutely, Dalton, meant everything to her
00:05:26.080 So pray for her family
00:05:27.600 As they go through the process
00:05:30.360 And her Action for Canada family
00:05:32.120 She was just a core member of our team
00:05:35.440 And she is dearly missed
00:05:37.300 And she will be dearly missed
00:05:39.080 Yes, I'm home
00:05:41.800 I'm home at last
00:05:45.740 And I'm home with her
00:05:49.420 so that she could see that as a university
00:05:50.480 she went to join the house
00:05:51.160 and she would have done all the work 0.96
00:05:54.080 for her life
