♥ Call to prayer and updates: Family News; wildfires in our Regional Council While the fire situation has improved over the past week, the people of Fort Nelson and Fort Nelson First Nation remain away from their homes. We offer thanks to courageous first responders, fire fighters and community leaders; and to family and friends and the communities of Fort St John, Dawson Creek and far beyond who are hosting those evacuated. Please click here for more details.
♥ Mission & Service Stories: Advocating for Sexual and Gender Minorities in Other Countries. Same-sex attraction is a crime in 71 countries, and
11 of them have the death penalty. The stories people share after they escape these repressive governments clearly show the risks 2SLGBTQIA+ people take. Mission and Service brings together church leaders in foreign countries to discover how we can help make the church a place of liberation and life for sexual & gender minorities in those places.🌈
♥Help Your Community of Faith and Mission & Service with PAR :
Don’t be PAR-alyzed. It’s easy to invite people to PAR-take in PAR month. We have all the PAR-aphernalia and resources you need. There’s even a sample plan so you don’t have to do all the work to PAR-ticipate.
Download them from the Giving Monthly Through PAR webpage. All kidding aside, inviting people to monthly giving through PAR (Pre-Authorized
Remittance) is an easy way for you to help increase generosity in your community of faith. And increasing generosity not only increases ministry, it’s also a great way to nurture discipleship as people learn to walk the Way of Jesus. ♥ Please make a big deal about it ♥. Have fun with it. PAR-ty on! Set up monthly donations to support ongoing work.
Spread the word: Encourage others to join PAR! Resources and plans:
Visit the PAR webpage for details. Let's make a difference, together! Go to the PAR webpage to access resources and your PAR month campaign plan.
