Hello, I am really looking forward to this Sunday’s service at Living Faith. We will be visited by Ruth Stewart who is the Ministry Development Coordinator with the Canadian Bible Society. Living Faith is a partner congregation with the CBS and, let me tell you, it’s a great partnership – we receive free Bibles for those being confirmed in their faith and we agree to host a Bible Society Service once a year. It truly is a win-win situation! This Sunday, Ruth will be sharing with us about the work of the CBS, which is involved in publishing and distributing Bibles in Canada and around the world. I hope you will come and hear Ruth’s message for us. Special offering envelopes will be available if you feel inclined to make a financial donation to the work of CBS.
Donations are starting to arrive at our church in response to the plea for infant and children’s items which will be sent to Haiti through Emmanuel’s Wish. Thanks so much to Mel Shields who is coordinating the collection. The full list of needed items is included in last week’s emailing (which is also available on our new website, the address is listed below). Please bring your donations to church on Sunday – or drop them off through the week – and Mel will pick them up and deliver them to Emmanuel’s Wish. The goal is to fill a shipping container with these much needed items. As well, we are continuing our financial collection for Haiti through Presbyterian World Service & Development. Offering envelopes for PWS&D are available in our church foyer, and all donations will be matched by the federal government until Feb. 12th.
In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus said “whatever you do for the least of these brothers of mine, you do for Me.” Let’s take this opportunity to serve Christ by serving others in His name.
Peace be with you all,
Heather
