Glebe Road Refugee Sponsorship Update

The Glebe Road Refugee Committee continues to be in regular contact with the family we are sponsoring. Unfortunately, the conflict involving Iran has had a significant impact on them, as it has on so many others living in poverty throughout the region. 

Thousands of refugees who had been living in Iran have crossed into neighbouring countries, placing additional strain on already fragile economies and humanitarian systems. The conflict has disrupted transportation routes, increased fuel prices, and raised the cost of imported goods. As a result, many families are facing higher food and living costs at a time when poverty is already widespread.

Financial donations to support our refugee family are greatly appreciated and especially needed at this time. We ask that you continue to remember our refugee family, and all those affected by the conflict, in your prayers. In hope and prayer,

“All in the Family” Summer Sermon Series — As the Desert Turns: The Rescue of Hagar and Ishmael

As the Desert Turns: The Rescue of Hagar and Ishmael Genesis 21:8-21 — In a desolate desert, a new nation is born. Sarah demands Hagar and Ishmael be sent away, fearing for Isaac's inheritance. Abraham hesitates, but God reassures him: Isaac carries the covenant, yet Ishmael won't be abandoned. Cast into the wilderness with dwindling supplies, Hagar fears her son will die of thirst—until a divine intervention reveals a hidden well and renews God's promise. Ishmael survives, growing up under God's protection to forge his own destiny in the desert.

“All in the Family” Summer Sermon Series — All My Descendants: The Call of Abraham and Sarah

All My Descendants: Abraham and Sarah Genesis 18:1-15, 21:1-7 — From laughter the promise of God is fulfilled. Three mysterious strangers show up at Abraham's tent with a bombshell prediction: 90-year-old Sarah is having a baby. She can't help but laugh from the shadows... Cut to a year later: the impossible happens. Isaac is born, Abraham's faith pays off, and Sarah gets the last laugh—A story about timing, patience, and a promise that finally delivers.

June Sunday School Update

The weather remains unpredictable, but we’ve had a lot of lovely days at Sunday School. We’ve spent some time on a new activity of nature logs in observing the world around us and making Zine’s of our findings. A zine is a short form magazine entrenched in DIY culture, a culture that aims to move art away from institutionalized publishing and companies and into the hands of communities and artists.
