Thank you God, for new life in the springtime, for the reawakening of the world around us, for bright green new leaves. Thank you God, for new life at Easter, for Jesus who is with us, right now and every day.  Amen.

Prayer for Camp 2025

Lord, we ask for Your blessing on the decision-making process of the volunteers who are planning the diocesan family camp. We pray for Your hand to guide them and Your wisdom to direct their path. Help them to discern the right course of action in all matters before them. May their choices align with Your will and benefit all the participants at the camp. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Alongside Hope

Alongside Hope

Formerly PWRDF

We were excited to announce an extraordinary $250,000.00 matching gift for our newly launched Resilience Fund, responding on behalf of Anglicans in Canada to the needs of individuals, families and communities served by our partners around the world in the face of drastic cuts to international development aid funding. 
Will you help us get the word out to the parishes in Athabasca about the opportunity to have individual and parish gifts to the Resilience Fund matched, doubling their impact, and about the need for advocacy during this important federal election campaign?  
We have several resources available for you, including:
  •  a bulletin insert - attached and also available here: https://alongsidehope.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Resilience-Fund-appeal-bulletin-5.5-x-8.5-in.pdf
  • a Resilience Fund page on our website, here https://alongsidehope.org/resilience-fund/
  • a link to our recent webinar about the impact of the funding cuts, here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8oqhL_hL0c&t=1s
  • election advocacy resources, here: https://alongsidehope.org/aidworks-letter-builder/
 
Our new Alongside Hope annual resources are also now available to order here: https://alongsidehope.org/get-involved/resources/annual-resources/
