As you prepare for this morning’s service to begin, you are invited to reflect on the following…
“I live in the faith that there is a Presence and Power greater than I am that
nurtures and supports me in ways I could not even imagine. I know that this
Presence is All knowing and All Power and is Always right where I am”
~ Ernest Holmes
“He didn’t know how it was to be done but he felt quite sure now that
he would be able to do it. The Lion drew a deep breath, stooped its
head even lower and gave him a Lion’s kiss. And at once Digory felt
that new strength and courage had gone into him.”
~ C.S. Lewis
Things to pray for this week…
We honour Survivors of residential schools, children who died and members of their families. The Church has committed itself to the ongoing work of responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as the framework for reconciliation.
We honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls who have faced terrible violence, and pray for their families who seek justice and peace. We pray that all Indigenous people experience safety and wellbeing.
We pray that those called as leaders would be captured by God’s vision for the church and the world in this time and place.
Mission Moment
Through generous gifts to Presbyterians Sharing, Place of Hope Indigenous Presbyterian Church is planting seeds of faith in the hearts of many children. These young ones grow up to become disciples and leaders, sharing and nurturing the love of Jesus in the lives of other children and youth. Sunday School lessons focus on the Seven Sacred Teachings and the Fruit of the Spirit, guiding children and youth to apply these important principles in their daily lives. Despite the challenges many of these children face, including family and friends struggling with addiction and illness, these lessons help cultivate resilience, hope, and the understanding that no act of kindness is too small. Whether it’s offering a smile, carrying a bag of groceries, or helping a friend, everyone can share God’s love
