Please pray for those in the path of Hurricane Milton, as well as those still recovering from Hurricane Helene. Loving Protector, As a mother hen comforts and shields her young from the dangers of life, gather all who are in the horrific path of Hurricane Milton in love: comfort those who have already been devastated by his force; provide aid to those recovering from Hurricane Helene; and, protect all those who are anxiously preparing again for impact. Grant us the loving kindness and grace to do what we can to shield each other from the unimaginable powers of nature. Amen. [Image: WikiImages from Pixabay] #UCCan #HurricaneMilton #HurricaneHelene

Hi everyone, As you know, Thanksgiving is a time that centers around food. This year, even more so than in the past, many people are struggling to put food on the table, let alone celebrate with a feast. As part of the Thanksgiving campaign, we have released a video message that highlights the issue of food scarcity and the impact it's having in Canada and in communities around the world. https://lnkd.in/gV4rH-HJ You too can make a difference by making a special gift to Mission and Service this Thanksgiving. Your donations to Mission and Service will help: • Bridge the food gap • Support sustainable farming • Empower vulnerable communities By sharing this video message with your friends, family, and social networks, you can help raise awareness and encourage others to donate at https://lnkd.in/giDFjxEK. Join me in showing our support for those in need. In Christ, Sarah Charters Executive Officer of Philanthropy, The United Church of Canada
