Reflections & Prayers

As you prepare for this morning’s service to begin, you are invited to
reflect on the following…

Although each person is unique and infinitely valuable, people need
each other in order to be fully human. We can only actualize our
fullest potentials by embracing and being embraced by others.”
~ Dr. Michael Walker

Think of a time when a friend showed special concern for you during a
difficult time in your life. How did that person’s support help you?


Things to pray for this week…

We give thanks for the faithful witness of the Atlantic Mission Society
and their dedication in supporting the mission work of The
Presbyterian Church in Canada.

We give thanks that girls in Pakistan are accessing education with
PWS&D’s support through initiatives that break down barriers to
learning.

Let us pray for religious communities as they come
together to contemplate the implications of artificial
intelligence (AI) in political and social contexts.


Mission Moment

In Guatemala, Eladio Félix Marroquín’s family is learning to care for creation. With support from PWS&D and local partner AMMID, Eladio and his community are learning about tree planting, gardening, and how to strengthen forest nurseries and collect native seeds. Through the project, Eladio and his community joined a reforestation effort, along with other local communities, where 400 trees of various species were planted. Appreciative of the support, Eladio shared, “I am grateful for the support of AMMID and PWS&D for involving us in these activities to care for the natural assets of our community. Only by protecting water, forests and mother earth will we inherit a better future for new generations.”
