Not long ago, I received a message from our partners at the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools that they had spent time as a staff that morning praying for us - for Covenant Christian School, and a number of things that they had specifically prayed for. As a support group and part of a small community connected to many other communities, they spend time intentionally on and for us at the seat of the throne of our Lord, Saviour, and Creator.
This past weekend was one that was filled with activity that our membership were involved with and cared about. Fundraising walks for Diabetes and Muscular Dystrophy, and the Ride to Conquer Cancer are just a few ways in which members of NACE involve themselves in communities outside of our own community. Prayers of support for the Bosma family out of Ancaster, and of course prayers for the people and communities surrounding Orlando who have been so devastatingly affected by the US's newest 'biggest' statistic of the largest mass shooting in its history.
Prayers are powerful. So are words of support, encouragement. As a small community, our impact spreads wide and deep. It's how we serve with gladness, and share community. Never underestimate the power of prayer, or the power of the words of encouragement that say "I prayed for you today....."
