I was on a bus passing the new Aurora United Church still under construction on Yonge Street, in the centre of town recently. I mentioned the unfinished construction, which has been idle for a month or so, and the bus driver said to me the the church had "run out of money".
I was surprised by his comment. I knew money for a new church had been an issue since the old church burned down 12 years ago. But it now seemed very close to completion and yet nothing seemed to be happening recently. I thought the completion delay was perhaps because of the very, very cold winter weather and snow we had received so far.
Mercifully, whatever has prompted the recent construction activity delay, will be resolved quickly, and the Aurora United Church, with its impressive new towering spire and steeple will once again be the landmark that identified Aurora for 200 years.
