Canadian Region 2020 Report
“Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” Ephesians 4:14-16
My prayer for women in all our churches is that we would read our Bibles. That we would learn God’s word and be able to stand firm in it. That we would not fall sway to the false teaching that surrounds us. It can be hard to feel like we are part of the greater body of Christ. The church united. Especially in these days of isolation and distance. I pray that we would remember whose we are, and who loves us.
Up here in Canada we have much to be thankful for. Many of us have started drive in services due to the pandemic, or have been live-streaming services online. We had our annual general meeting in March in Saskatoon, SK at Rock of Ages Lutheran Brethren Church. This was a blessing because it took place right before everything shut down and large groups were no longer allowed to meet due to Covid19. Our Family Camping event is scheduled to take place in July at Deer Valley Meadows Camp near Red Deer, AB. We hope we will still be able to meet together then. Our annual pastors wives retreat is scheduled for Oct 22 in Regina, SK. This will be our third time meeting together, which is a huge blessing to us as we are so spread out geographically and do not get to meet very often. Unfortunately the IF Gathering that had been planned at Resurrection Church in Camrose, AB was forced to cancel. We hope more women’s ministry events will take place in the next year.
