Lenten project…

Amnesty International invites you to take on a Lenten Project. Lent begins soon. During Lent we prepare ourselves for Holy Week, when Jesus was tortured and killed. Many people in this world are, at this very time, suffering a similar fate. We invite you to write letters, emails, faxes on behalf of those who are suffering injustice, torture, and facing the possibility of death. Amnesty can provide you each week with suggestions for the letters you should be writing – or you can choose your own letters from www.amnesty.ca. If you do not have experience in letter writing for Amnesty, an Amnesty Letter Writing Circle will be meeting on Tuesday, March 1st at 27 Dundurn St. (off Maryland between Westminster and Wolseley) 7 – 9 p.m. You would be welcome to join us. If this is not convenient, please contact Tom Collings at 772-2892.

St john’s prayer list…

We invite you to take Sunday’s bulletin home with you and to pray for the persons on St. John’s Prayer List in your devotions.
