Wildflowers and Ravens!  They teach us that God provides beautifully and bountifully without striving.  Jesus invites us to trust, not in what we can build or save, but in the God who sees and provides. Can we trust that we will be provided for?  What are some ways that God provides when we least expect it?

The Preacher of Ecclesiastes shares his wisdom that arises out a lifetime of observing our life “under the sun.”  The Preacher’s wisdom is greatly enhanced when we reflect upon it with the wisdom of God’s Son.

As violence continues in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, humanitarian needs on the ground worsen. Tens of thousands of families lack access to food and emergency supplies. Reports continue to highlight difficulties in aid transportation and distribution, exacerbating an already desperate situation.  Despite the challenges, PWS&D is responding through ecumenical networks and partnerships at ACT Alliance and Canadian Foodgrains Bank to provide food and other humanitarian assistance where and whenever possible. Your support is making a difference!

You can give directly to PWS&D by clicking on the ‘read more’ button below, or you can make a donation through St. Andrew’s (cheque, cash, online, or debit machine).  If so, please make sure you include ‘PWS&D – Gaza’ when you donate.  The amount of your donation will be included in your tax receipt at year end.

All are  invited to join the 7th Annual Citywide Pride Interfaith Service on Sunday, August 24 at 7:00 pm, hosted at Lutheran Church of the Cross.
