MOMENT FOR MISSION: Sunday February 8 Mentoring vulnerable youth
Gifts to Presbyterians Sharing support Kenora Fellowship Centre as it offers shelter and comfort to vulnerable, disadvantaged and displaced people in downtown Kenora, Ontario. It is the only  place in this area offering people refuge from the streets. Its mentorship program offers hands-on experience to young people like Donovan. Youth help with the daily lunch program and take care of the elders, among other tasks. Donovan and others in the mentorship program enjoyed helping establish a vegetable garden, working alongside three elders who helped till and prepare the earth. An Ojibway elder blessed the garden and made suggestions on how to plant according to his teachings. Please pray for KFC as it reaches out to vulnerable youth and young adults through its mentorship program.

World Day of Prayer 2015
  
Jesus said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? Written by the women of “The Bahamas”

World Day Of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christians of many traditions who come together on the first Friday of March each year to observe a common day of prayer.  Through World Day of Prayer, we affirm our faith in Jesus Christ and engage with the whole world; are enriched by the faith experience of Christians of other countries and cultures; share the burdens of other people, praying with them and for them; and use our talents in the service of God’s world.  Prayer and action are inseparable and both have immeasurable influence in the world.

ALL ARE INVITED to join us in celebrating World Day of Prayer at St. Andrew’s United Church, 89 Mountainview Rd. S., Georgetown, Friday, March 6th at 7:30 pm
