Offering: (offering song ~ Goodness of God) is for CARDUS. Cardus exists as an independent
think tank located in the heart of Canada. Initially founded in 1974 as the “Work Research
Foundation,” Cardus emerged from a desire to translate the richness of the Christian faith
tradition into the public square for the common good. Determined to live together well in
difference and enlarge public conversation on key policy issues, our team works to produce
independent research, contribute measured public commentary, and convene projects and
initiatives across North America.

Family Ministry
Following are this week’s joys and concerns. By contacting the pastor, your elder or deacons and/or Care
Circle representative with items of celebrations and need for prayer, we can share God’s love for each
other.
Our Church Family: ~ Martha H. is home now. The pain is manageable now by normal meds.
She's very tired. For the next two weeks she can only eat/drink "full fluids." Thanks for your
prayers and love.
Jacquie: The doctors have still not been able to determine the exact type of cancer that
Jacquie has. A few more tests have been scheduled. Please pray for Jacquie and Ryan as
they go through this slow process.
MEMORY WORK ~ John 3:16 (NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.ANNOUNCEMENTS
Next Week Sunday’s Offering is for Centre for Public Dialogue. We believe that every person is
created in the image of Creator God. From this foundation, we work to promote the flourishing of
all people through constructive dialogue and advocacy in Canada. As Christian citizens we stand
with vulnerable and marginalized people in our communities as allies and work toward a just
world in which structures and institutions give every person the opportunity to thrive. It's our goal
to present a positive voice of faith in Canadian public life, and to live out justice, hope, and
reconciliation in advocacy and citizenship. Our office is located in Ottawa.
