The Crosslinks Street Outreach Pro- gram is a mobile van service that provides services to people in York Region experi- encing homelessness, as well as those liv- ing at low- and moderate-income levels. Mary Ann Proulx encourages us all to: “Stay strong, stay positive and stay safe.”
First North Pelham and Rockway Presbyterian Churches, a pastoral charge in rural Niagara, Ont., marked Good Friday by participating in a car pilgrimage. Participants were given a map along with a guidebook for each of the nine stations (containing a passage of scripture, prayer, words to a hymn and the instruction to the next loca- tion). Seventeen cars travelled the area, and several others did the pilgrimage at a later time.
A group from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Lethbridge, Alta., took part in the “Coldest Night of the Year” walk on Feb. 20, 2021, to raise funds for the benefit of the local Streets Alive organization.
An Easter Egg Prayer Tree was set up at Knox Presbyterian Church in Vernon, B.C., to give individuals a safe way to offer an Easter prayer.
