MISSION CAPSULE: Jesus challenges us to love our neighbours as ourselves. Through Presbyterians Sharing ... we support Justice Ministries and advocate for the protection of vulnerable people. 760,000 Canadian children live in poverty, and an increasing number of Canadians are adversely affected by the economic downturn. Povery can be reduced. In March, during a series of pre-budget vigils, Ontario's faith communities, including a number of Presbyterians, prayed at Queen's Park, for the poor. Let us pray for those who are working towards a day when God's abundance will be shared equally by all members of society.

NOTE: It is interesting to know that Buzz Aldrin took communion, administered by a Presbyterian Minister, shortly after Apollo II landed on the moon.


MORE NONSENSE:

A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was, a nurse said "No change yet".

A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.

A short fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large!
