Urgent Request for Remote Support - Community Naujaat, Nunavut. They urgently need toques, mittens, gloves, balaclavas, neck warmers, scarves, socks, sweaters, hoodies, handwarmers, snow pants, blankets or anything else war for their use at home and or at school. This likely also means there are Elders in needs of warm blankets at home as well.

Please help and send whatever you can ASAP. Soup mixes, cup of soups and hot drinks would likely also be welcome. Many hands can lighten the load. Please ship items to Tusarvik School - Attn: Gloria Hahn, P.O. Box 130, Naujaat, NU X0C 0H0. For more information see Sandy McBay.

IF:GATHERING - A two day event where women all over the world gather together, get equipped, and step into their calling: TO GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES.
March 4th 7pm-10:30pm March 5th 10am-5pm
Cost $10 

Ten of us gathered together last year online to watch and reflect. It was so good that we knew we had to do it again this year. There is an amazing collection of speakers.

We were hoping we would be able to meet in larger group in person this year, unfortunately we will have to wait another year. With everyone hitting their limits of online meetings, we have decided not to meet online this year instead we would like to encourage small groups to gather  in their homes and watch together. Invite your friends for a sleepover, invite your mom and your sister over, invite your neighbour over, watch with your husband or (watch it on your own).

Gathering together matters, it's where imagination starts, it's a place where hearts can heal, and it's a safe place to be vulnerable.. 

To join you need to register at:

  2. Select “IF:Tintern”  for the Group Name
