Two churches fundraiser - all welcome...

The United Church of Canada has released a powerful renewed declaration, "Dreaming a Better World Into Being: For the Sake of God’s Beloved World." Stemming from decisions made at General Council 45 in Calgary, Alberta, the statement renews the church's commitment to justice, peace, the integrity of Creation, and the flourishing of all peoples and the world.

The church raises its voice to call for urgent action on peace and justice issues internationally, including the ongoing genocide and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, as well as violence in Latin America and tensions on the Korean peninsula.The declaration also addresses the church's own complicity in settler colonialism and urges all levels of Canadian society to defend those Indigenous Peoples most affected by the climate crisis and those without access to clean drinking water.

The statement reiterates the church’s apology to 2S and LGBTQIA+ communities, calling for government action to protect their rights. Other urgent calls for action include addressing the housing and mental health crises, the overdose crisis, increasing polarization, and the erosion of democratic processes.

NEVER HAD IT SUMMED UP LIKE THIS BEFORE.
Why go to Church?
I think this is fantastic, I just love the guy's answer, and the interpretation for the word BIBLE. Enjoy and pass it on .
A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.
He wrote: "I've gone for 30 years now, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons, but for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time, the preachers and priests are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all".
This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column.
Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals.
But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.
Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"
When you are DOWN to nothing, God is UP to something!
Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible & receives the impossible!
Thank God for our physical and our spiritual nourishment!
IF YOU CANNOT SEE GOD IN ALL, YOU CANNOT SEE GOD AT ALL !
B I. B L. E. simply means: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth!
