Hope is renewed in connection, in communication in all the ways we care. In this Holy Week, can we remember to stay gentle with ourselves and to welcome the still small voice within. As we are reminded in Micah 6:8 act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God. Please reach out if you did not receive the Easter letter sent from me to your community of faith this week, sent through your region. Make sure your directory and contact information is up to date. Some of the contacts on file at the regional office may need updating. Receive and share hope! Encourage people in your community of faith to sign up for this weekly announcements newsletter of your regional council. Forward this email to people you know. To help boost your well-being, read others stories of hope 100 Words of Hope, and together with a group, as a community of faith or individually

create your own submission. Be sure to share any submissions with me. Wishing you all a blessed Easter!

Let’s get growth animated together. Call Sharon at 506-306-0500 or by email at sballantyne@united-church.ca as together, we keep being bold, deep and daring!
