MISSION CAPSULES: Our gifts to Presbyterian Sharing ... support Action Refugies Montreal (ARM) which works in solidarity with refugees and refugee claimants in downtown Montreal. ARM facilitates the private sponsorship of refugees to Canada and helps refugees adjust to life in Canada through its twinning program. It also assists refugee claimants held in the Laval immigration detention centre by giving them accurate legal information and ensuring they have access to legal services. Glynis Williams, the ministry's Director, says "We all want to feel that we belong somewhere". Marguerite, a refugee from Burundi who received help from ARM says, "Coming to Canada, I found a family." Let us pray for ARM and the vital ministry it is providing to refugees in Montreal.

NOTE: Last summer we held our weekly worship services on Wednesday evenings as a trial. As it turned out our attendance was higher on Wednesday evenings than in the past summers on Sunday mornings. SO, it has been decided to try it again. We will begin our family services this year at 6:30 and the first one will be June 30th with a Pot Luck picnic dinner.

To this end, we are looking for musicians to volunteer for these services. If you play piano or any other instrument please speak to Don Anderson.
