So grateful to have the good folks of Manna Homeless Outreach with us for worship today! Not only did they share a bit about what they do in response to the call to take up your cross and follow Jesus - but we also got to see the Medical Care Unit and outreach vehicles up close. Thank you Robin, Raquel and Jerrold for being with us - we are so grateful to be part of the wider Manna community!

If you have been by St. Anne and St. Edmund's over the last couple of months, you may have noticed the hardworking volunteers who have been cutting our grass and cleaning up our yard and cemetery. These volunteers come to us through our relationship with Manna Ministries and is so greatly appreciated. THANK YOU MANNA FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR CHURCH AND OUR COMMUNITY!!! .

In light of what is happening in communities across the Okanagan and Kootney regions of this beautiful province of ours I invite your prayers for all those who are facing fires this day, this week, and beyond.

Current stats show that over 20,000 people have been evacuated with another 9000+ on standby to flee at a moments notice ... nearly the entire population of all Oceanside Communities combined.

My friends, our province is burning, our province is hurting and our prayers, our support, our hearts are needed. And while there is always hope, as people and forests are resillient and will bloom again, right now - we are called to hold onto the hope.

So let us pray...
Creator God, You see the fires burning and the creatures, animals and humans alike, fleeing. You feel their fear and worry, and weep with those who are facing devastating loss of life and livelihood.
We ask that you strength and uphold the firefighters and volunteers working to keep flames at bay and communities safe. Grant clear wisdom to local leaders, emergency coordinators, and all who are guiding the evacuation and organizing response efforts. Be the refuge and strength to all all those who are being forced from their homes, so they may find comfort, a lightening from anxiety and fear knowing You are with them through this storm. We pray for safe shelter, adequate food and water, and compassionate support for everyone displaced.
We place all these worries all these prayers encompassing people and animals, forests and cities in your loving hands O Lord. And in Your time trust You will bring hope, healing, and renewal out of the ashes of this disaster. Amen.

With love, compassion and prayer,
Rev. Kirsten+

Affordable housing is a hot topic across these islands and inlets But even when trying to make a dent in the deep need in our communities, red tape and unrealistic delays are a real issue. In this article Bishop Anna calls to task this issue as red tape continues to hinder our call to love our neighbour and uphold the dignity of every person.

Let us give thanks for the leadership of our own Bishop Anna in this and other matters of social justice as we continue to stand up and speak out against city policies (thinking of our recent partnership at St Edmunds with Manna Ministries) and government regulations so that we can keep supporting those in need in our community.

Lord hear and have mercy!

The Anglican Church says years of municipal delays are making affordable housing in B.C. more expensive—and is calling for a six-month approval cap.
