April 24, 2022: Prayer for Ukraine and for Peace for the World
/In solidarity with the Ukrainian Bishops of Canada, we invite you to join with The Canadian Council of Churches on April 24, 2022, which is Pascha (Easter Sunday on the Julian calendar), to proclaim together that Christ is Risen, that love overcomes fear, and that life overcomes death and destruction.
We invite all worshipping communities to pray for peace and to ring your church bells (or bells in your home) at 12 noon your time (or offer some other liturgical action appropriate in your community) as a sign and celebration of hope.

Ready to Help Ukrainians in Crisis
/Ukraine is in a state of emergency as military operations in the eastern European country continue to escalate, including airstrikes and movement toward the capital Kyiv.
As thousands of Ukrainians flee their country, we have deployed a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) to Europe to assess how we might help.
“Please ask God to work in the hearts of leaders and for an end to this conflict,” said Franklin Graham via his Facebook page.
Samaritan’s Purse has many ministry partners inside Ukraine, including a robust outreach through Operation Christmas Child. We are in contact with those in the country to see how we can continue to assist in this volatile situation.
Please pray for families as they face fearful and uncertain days ahead, and pray also for our teams and partners as they seek ways to help the hurting in Jesus’ Name.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1

~ eNews ~
During the past year we provided 476 food hampers. That thanks to your continued support and generosity during 2021 we fed 667 adults & 389 children. We had 27 first-time users. We fed 46% more children in 2021 than in 2020. We saw an increase in need of 25%.
We continue to see the numbers trend upward. January 2022 we did 39 hampers & fed 77 adults & 45 children. We are feeding more families than ever.
Sky-rocketing inflation, increases in the cost of utilities, gas & food are affecting everyone. Regardless of income level, all of us are feeling the pinch & those who have stretched their dollar as far as possible need our help to get through these tough times.
We are able to provide this care because we are part of such a caring, sharing community.
Your Support Means Everything.
THANK YOU!
