MISSION CAPSULES: Our gifts to Presbyterians Sharing ... support chaplaincies at universities across Canada. The Ecumenical Chaplaincy at the University of Saskatchewan works in cooperation with inter-faith and ecumenical colleagues to support the spiritual needs of the university community by nourishing faith and building community among students. It is a team ministry, with peer ministers (students) working alongside the chaplain, Ursula Wiig. The students bring their own vision, skills and enthusiasm to the ministry, and are a great help to Ursula as she provides activities and pastoral support. Let us pray for the University of Saskatchewan's Ecumenical Chaplaincy as it provides a place of welcome and support.

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES! These came from an elementary school test. The spelling has not been changed. These Bible statements were all written by the school children.

In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, God got tired of creating the world so he took the sabbath off!

Adam and Eve were created from an Apple tree. Noah's wife was Joan of Ark. Noah built and ark and the animals came on in pears!

Sampson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a jezebel like Delilah!

Samson slayed the Philistines with the Axe of the Apostles!


Have a good week - hope to see you all at the concert! MB
