· From Community Unity: A wonderful Ukrainian family that we had the privilege of working with through the Easter Basket Brigade (subsequently found jobs via Lois Fraser etc) is looking to move to Milton to be closer to their work/school and looking for rental housing. Ideally looking at paying around $2,000 per month and would like to find a place ASAP as the other family that they were living with is moving to Toronto. If anyone is able, or knows someone who is able, please let us know.
· Prayers:
· - For those preparing for school, as teachers or students, some for their first year, some for their final year
· - For those marking milestones and transitions
· - For congregations of Christians around the world who are either searching for their next minister or attempting to discern what the future holds for them
· - For the poor and hungry around the world as storm, fire, flood, and war make the distribution of plenty even more difficult and costly.
·
· -Thanks, as always, to everyone for your continued support of the work and ministry of our congregations!
