LIGHT A CANDLE
AND SAY A PRAYER
Sunday, March 29th
7 pm
Light a candle of hope in the window of your home or on the porch! From our Primate, The Most Reverend Linda Nicholls: "All around us, while many are in quarantine or self-isolation, the church is blossoming with prayer. We are digging deep into the heart of our faith to lift our voices in the sure and certain knowledge that the Holy Spirit hears our intercessions, thanksgivings and even our groans." You can also tune in live to join us in prayer on the
Anglican Church of Canada Facebook page, or whenever is best for you (following the broadcast).
