As you prepare for this morning’s service to begin, you are invited to
reflect on the following…
“The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep
discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes,
and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘Help me.’”
~ Billy Graham
What has brought you the most joy in the past few years? The most grief?
What brought relief from your grief?
When do you find it convenient to pray silently and
when do you find it convenient to pray loudly?
Things to pray for this week…
We pray for all the people in congregations who leave a legacy
gift—a bequest, a charitable gift annuity, a gift of life insurance—so
that we may have vibrant ministry, today and tomorrow.
We pray for those who lack access to proper sanitation and for
PWS&D programs that are working to provide water, sanitation and
hygiene measures.
We pray for chaplains in hospitals and long-term care
homes as they continue to provide comfort, offer hope,
and minister during moments that matter.
Mission Moment
With support from Presbyterians Sharing, Action Réfugiés Montréal provides hope and assistance to refugees through social programming, sponsorship, and raising awareness of refugee rights. The organization operates the popular “Twinning Program,” which pairs newly arrived refugee women with women already residing in Montreal. Through frequent meetings and group activities, these “twins” forge bonds of friendship and solidarity. The program plays a crucial role in mitigating isolation and addressing barriers that these women encounter in their daily lives.
