An urgent message from Pastor Bart:

You may be watching news reports or hearing them on the radio about the earthquake in Turkey and Syria that has left thousands dead, countless people injured and without homes.

I am writing to ask that we do two things sooner, rather than later.

1. Pray!

“Eternal God, we commend to you the lives extinguished by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.  We pray for the rescuers from White Helmets and other relief agencies even as we pray for those injured and for families suddenly finding themselves without homes.  We pray you disrupt the rivalries among factions and nations so that people will unite to bring relief and care to, in a time of enormous need.  We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord. Amen”

2. Consider a donation to Canadian Lutheran World Relief.  They have a giving ‘button’ on the website https://www.clwr.org/
