UNITED CHURCH EMERGENCY APPEAL for PAKISTAN

Pakistan continues to struggle in response to massive flooding, which has affected an estimated 20 million people

The United Church of Canada, together with other members of the global ACT Alliance, is continuing to monitor and respond to the crisis. As a result of donations made by its members, the United Church sent $25,000 to ACT immediately, and has sent an additional $40,000 also to ACT.

ACT members in Pakistan are working diligently to deliver assistance including food, water, tents, kitchen kits, hygiene kits, mosquito nets, and emergency medical care.

The United Church has also contributed $75,000 through its membership in the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB). The funds will be used for a project that will provide food kits containing rice, lentils, flour, oil, sugar, salt, tea, and spices.

If you wish to donate, mark your envelope with "Pakistan Appeal."

Vision Statement

South Peace United Church comes together in loving friendship to celebrate God's presence among us and to live out the love of Christ in community.


PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Christ, our loving host, open our hearts to accept your invitation to true community in God's reign. Assure us of our place at God's open table, and help us make certain that no one is excluded from dining there. Amen

GOOD NEWS

In the soul of God, we each have a place of honour where we are nourished by the Spirit. Then filled with the abundant love of God, we can extend ourselves in new and life-giving ways. Receive forgiveness and live the love of God.”
