Angel Sunday
Here are two pictures from Ribstone Congregation on the 18th of September. Wayne brought the morning message on Angels and Gloria brought information on Angels from an older Temples School book, to the Adult class. After class, each of the children were given an angel.

Aid to Haiti for Hurricane Matthew
Community of Christ is sending an initial $10,000 from Abolish Poverty, End Suffering for Hurricane Matthew relief in Haiti. The needs there are sure to exceed this amount. You can respond now through e-Tithing by selecting the Worldwide Mission Tithes category and giving to “Hurricane Matthew Relief.” (In Australia or Canada, go to www.CofChrist.org/give.)
Apostle Arthur Smith is not aware of loss of life among church members in Haiti. “Many count themselves lucky to be alive, including a family who left their home just before the roof collapsed,” shared Arthur. Many members have lost their homes and of the 12 congregations in one area of Haiti all but one are destroyed. He said, “Due to bridges being out, we still can’t go visit people. Communication remains difficult.”
Your continued prayers and generous giving to Abolish Poverty, End Suffering offer hope and tangible aid to make a difference in the lives of those affected by Hurricane Matthew. Thank you.
Instructions for donating through ‘Canada Helps’
· On the CanadaHelps.Org page for “Community of Christ Canada West Mission” click the “Fund” drop-down menu and select “WC-Abolish Poverty, End Suffering”
· Select the “Donate Now” box if this is a one-time donation – or highlight the “Monthly” box and select how many donations to make and on what dates.
· Then enter the amount of the donation to be made.
· In the “message” box include a note such as, “For Haiti Hurricane relief” (this is necessary in order to know the intent. Otherwise the donation will likely go to the general Abolish Poverty/End Suffering fund)
· Then continue to enter your payment information and other information about you as a donor.
