As you prepare for this morning’s service to begin, you are invited to
reflect on the following…
“Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you
forget the joy of Christ risen.”
~ Mother Teresa
“Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection not in books
alone, but in every leaf in springtime.”
~ Martin Luther
Things to pray for this week…
God of new life and of hope, fill us with peace, joy and the desire to
be new people and to live in the new life Christ gives, guided by
your Spirit.
Tuesday, April 22nd is Earth Day. We pray for those harmed and
displaced by pollution, environmental destruction and climate
change. We pray for those working to protect vulnerable
ecosystems. We ask for guidance as local and global communities
address the climate crisis.
We pray for members of the Atlantic Mission Society as
they plan and hold their spring meetings.
Mission Moment
Do you know what Presbyterians Sharing is?
Presbyterians Sharing is the national church fund that supports the overall mission and ministry of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Congregations commit to raising an accepted allocation each year. Did you know that gifts to Presbyterians Sharing provide the foundation for what we do together as the PCC? Through our gifts, we provide funding for ministries with vulnerable people and appeal to governments to take action and prioritize funding to protect our planet, stop racism and discrimination, eliminate poverty and more. We equip leaders through theological colleges, conferences and webinars. Coaches and mentors walk alongside congregations as they seek out new directions. Grants help launch new faith communities and renew established ones. We work with international partners to share the good news of Christ. We speak up for children’s rights and the protection of refugees, asylum seekers, migrant workers and their families. We provide spaces for Indigenous and nonIndigenous people to walk together on a journey of healing and reconciliation. Together, we are working to build a church where all are welcome.
