PCC MISSION MOMENTS : PWS&D Sunday
Inspired by God’s promise of abundant life, PWS&D envisions a sustainable, compassionate and just world. February 3 is PWS&D Sunday—a day to celebrate the work our church is doing to make this vision a reality, empowering people out of poverty, hunger and oppression. Through programs in sustainable development and emergency relief, we are helping women, men and children get what they need to improve their well-being, recover from emergency situations and plan for futures abundant in the blessings of Christ. This work would not be possible without the faithful support of individuals and congregations across Canada, and our partners overseas. Today and every day, we give thanks for those striving for justice, mercy and peace throughout the world.

AN INVITATION TO LUNCH The Metro Vancouver Alliance, of which our Presbytery is a member, is a broad-based group that is convinced that we can do much more together than we could ever do alone. The majority of its members are faith groups. You are invited to a luncheon where we can explore the values that motivate us to act together. Besides food, on the menu will be stories of the positive impact that broad based faith organizing has had on Canadian society and what has happened when the churches have worked together in the past. And now, in this city, in this year, what is it that we can do together that will make a real difference for the common good? Come with an appetite to relate with one another, and leave with ideas and resources that will help us make a difference together. Tuesday, February 19, 11:30-1:30 at St Mary’s Roman Catholic Parish 5251 Joyce Street in Vancouver. It’s a short walk from Joyce Station.
