Sunday June 12th

God, the Poet.

They say that poems express something about the poet. Summer is coming! This Sunday we hear an ancient Psalm celebrating the wonders of creation. We'll picture God as poet and give thought to what this poem of creation says about the poet, the creator. And maybe we'll hear a poem or two.

Ways to Serve

Gifts for Ukrainian Refugees

The devastating invasion of Ukraine has already caused over two million people to flee their homes for the safety of neighbouring countries. Many refugees have lost friends and loved ones and struggle to meet basic needs while facing an uncertain future. Mission & Service partner ACT Alliance is supporting the distribution of food baskets and hygiene packages to people whose lives have been turned upside down by the invasion. 

Your Gift of $25 will provide one hygiene package

Your Gift of $38 will provide one food basket

Your Gift of $40 will provide one hygiene package

Go to Gifts with Vision to find out more and to make a gift purchase today.
