As you prepare for this morning’s service to begin, you are invited to reflect on the following…
“The Holy Spirit is not the tranquilizer of the church; he is the
disturbing presence of God.”
~ Helmut Thielicke
Is our church more committed to comfort or to transformation?
Things to pray for this week …..
We pray for the healing and wellbeing of all people harmed by
residential schools. We pray for Indigenous organizations and nations
supporting healing work for Survivors, intergenerational Survivors,
their families and communities.
We pray for authors and writers within The Presbyterian Church in
Canada who work to help us understand our past and imagine our
future in light of the inexhaustible gifts of God.
We pray for all who are searching for work and ask that you will
grant them hope, strength, and open doors to meaningful
opportunities.
Mission Moment
Yemen has been devastated by over a decade of conflict, disrupting food systems and causing hunger. Yahya, a father of four with a disability that makes walking difficult, worries about his malnourished daughter. “We strive to obtain food, but the situation remains tough,” he shares. “When you entered
our village with the food basket distribution, it changed my life significantly. Thanks to your support, my situation began to improve. I was able to save some money through the food basket and decided to buy a water tank. This step was important for my family, as we finally have clean water.” PWS&D works together with Canadian Foodgrains Bank and local partners to deliver vital food assistance to families like Yahya’s who are facing worsening food insecurity.
