• And speaking of changing lives – the New Hope Wesleyan family recently provided generous donations for The Welcome Project for Ukrainian refugees. Missions Pastor Karen Doucette recently received a letter of gratitude on behalf of 150 newly arrived families and their hosts. One Ukrainian lady wrote, “I sincerely thank you and all Canadians for their support and desire to help Ukrainians in such a difficult time for them. You are doing an incredible job that inspires us to move forward, despite the obstacles in life!”

The Welcome Project letter stated, “It may just seem like shampoo and diapers, but to our newly arrived Ukrainians, it is a message of caring. And, when they find out that hundreds of donors have participated in collections they are deeply moved.”

• Tim Long (Live Well) recently posted this announcement, “All the churches on Digby Neck and Islands are coming together as part of loveatlantic.ca to help fill the needs of our communities. Please send us a private message indicating any needs you are aware of on the Neck and Islands.”

It is exciting to see how the unity of the Church is preparing for a powerful message of impact in our region. CLICK HERE to check out all the excellent resources available to help your church get involved.

Special Abuse Prevention Training Opportunity

The national office of The Wesleyan Church of Canada is pleased to announce an “Abuse Prevention” webinar in partnership with the organization Plan to Protect. The live webinar will take place on two Saturdays – October 15th & 29th from 10:00 a.m. to noon Eastern Standard Time (11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Atlantic Time). These are identical live presentations so participants only need to choose to attend one of the two events.

All pastors, leaders of specialized ministries, board members, and/or lay ministry leaders who work with children, teens or the vulnerable are welcomed and highly encouraged to attend. Cost is $5/person and is made payable to your local church, which will forward the registration fee to the national office. Join us as we proactively take steps to reduce the likelihood that any form of abuse would tragically happen in or through the ministries of our local churches, camping/retreat ministries, counseling centres, chaplain ministries, global ministry settings, etc.

Click on the QR codes above to register, and then submit the $5 fee to your local church treasurer and ask them to forward this payment to our national office. You may also register by clicking to select the link for your preferred date of participation:

• Content is never the problem. Being obedient to what God wants me to preach and His people to hear – now that takes a little more discernment. (Andy Phillips)
• Let’s admit we can’t reach everyone, so let’s invest our time in the reliable people we can reach. Find out who is toxic to you, consider walking away, and entrust them to God. (Gary Thomas)
• God’s grace is more like wind in a sail than it is like lightning. God will not change our hearts without a real participation on our parts. (Roberta Bondi)
