Loving God,
parent and companion to us all,
hold the precious children and young people in your loving care
as they begin a new school year.

Nurture in them a sense of wonder.
Keep their curiosity alive,
their imaginations wide,
and their hearts open to the joy of discovering something new.

May the spark of creativity, possibility, and adventure
continue to burn brightly within them.
Give them courage to ask questions,
freedom to dream,
and confidence to become who they are meant to be.

Surround them with people who see their worth
and meet them with kindness, patience, and respect.
Protect them from harm,
from cruelty and fear,
and from words and ideas that diminish the dignity of others.

And may they be a source of kindness, courage, and welcome to those around them.

Bless them as they learn and grow,
as they make friends, face challenges,
discover their gifts, and find their own light.

May they shine in the ways that are uniquely theirs—
and may every child be surrounded by the love, care,
and hope they need to flourish.

Amen

Today, more than 250 organizations across Canada—including The United Church of Canada, labour unions, civil liberties organizations, faith groups, migrant and refugee organizations, climate groups, academics, and community organizations—stand together behind four demands arising from a recent incident involving international students from Portage College in Calgary.

On August 12, 10 people were handed removal orders after being identified at a protest, the first time Canada’s federal immigration enforcement has targeted people at a protest.

“There is something profoundly unjust about people raising their voices because they have been treated unfairly, and then facing immigration enforcement for doing so,” says Rev. Michael Blair, General Secretary of The United Church of Canada.

In the spirit of migrant justice that is central to the ministry of The United Church of Canada, there is so much more that you can do. Be one of thousands of voices to ensure this never happens again.

On Sunday, September 20, migrants and allies will take action across Canada against deportations, exploitation, and migrant scapegoating, and for permanent resident status for all.

Make your voice heard in support migrant justice. It is imperative that organizations across the country speak up and push back.
