Mission to Chile
Luke and Mary (née King) Foster and family are planning to go to Chile in January, where
Luke will be teaching Church leaders. Please remember them in your prayers.
Their prayer letter is on www.crosslinks.org/mission-partners/luke-and-mary-foster.
They are still trusting in the Lord for funding, so please do support them.
—————————————————————————————————————Edmonton Night Shelter
Sadly, we heard after the circuit meeting, that the night shelter will not go ahead this
winter, due to circumstances outside the circuit's control. This means that the training
booked for the 6th Dec is cancelled. Any money raised within the circuit will be held in a
circuit fund for a future project. We hope that early in the New Year we will be able to
work with other interested people to start this project the following winter 2015-16.
Please send any completed volunteer forms to the circuit office, we will ensure that those
people are kept informed of what is happening. Thank you all for your commitment and
enthusiasm for this project so far, at what has been a very difficult time. Emily.
