A Giving Poem
My ability to rhyme is starting to slide,
But I trust in God, that he will provide!
To rely on the Lord for all of our needs,
is a position I hope we all believe.
For I, like many of you, have much,
why are we drawn to stuff with such lust?
If I ask the Lord for my “Daily Bread”,
why do I store up for tomorrow instead?
When families are facing high cost of living,
the Church is a place the community comes looking.
Perhaps we should plan less and pray more,
So that we can experience what God has in store.
Trust in the Lord, he will provide,
He will keep you close to his side.

UPCOMING OFFERING:
June 21st – Indigenous Ministries Canada: The Indigenous Ministry is made up of a national committee (Canadian Indigenous Ministry Committee), three Urban Indigenous Ministries, and a Senior Leader for Indigenous Justice and Reconciliation (Adrian Jacobs), each using their strengths to support healing and reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous people in Canada. It is rooted in a recognition of our Creator’s love for all creation and in the understanding that we all have gifts to offer one another. The Canadian Indigenous Ministry Committee (CIMC) works with CRC members and congregations to respond to God’s call to live in reconciled relationships as covenant (treaty) people before our Creator. Your funds provide leadership and support for learning about Indigenous justice and reconciliation and help to put good words and theology of healing, reconciliation and justice into action.
