The Fall garden

August 23 service

We join with those around the world who are praying for the people affected by the terrible disaster in Beirut. Thousands have been injured and hundreds of thousands of people have become homeless. Additionally, much of the food in Lebanon, which is imported due to limited production capacity, was destroyed by the explosionsexacerbating food insecurity in a country already affected by COVID-19 and a severe economic crisis. PWS&D has been providing support to Syrian refugees ...and host communities in Lebanon through ACT Alliance and Canadian Foodgrains Bank partners for several years. These partners are on the ground, actively assessing the situation to determine how best to respond. Between August 4 and 24, the Government of Canada is matching all donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members, up to $2 million. Through our membership in Canadian Foodgrains Bank (a member of the Humanitarian Coalition) gifts to PWS&D are eligible to be matched.

Last week's service went very well with the COVID-19 safety plans being easy to follow. Service on August 9, 2020 will start at 10 a.m. Please remember to bring your mask. If you don't have one, one will be provided for you. If you cannot attend the service, you can watch the prerecorded service in the link.

This year, one of the major projects is restoration of the stonework.

Do you feel like the darkness is closing in? Or that all hope is hanging by a thread and at any moment could come crashing down? Today is Easter Sunday and marks the day in the Christian calendar where Christians celebrate Jesus' powerful triumph over death. Tune in as Dan unpacks the significance of the resurrection in his own life and for the world.
