Hope and Courage:
On June 24, Naomi Manuel will be speaking at a Symposium and Lunch organized
by Yellowknife Victim Services at the Elks Hall. In 2002, Naomi Manuel,
a survivor of domestic abuse, lost her son at the hands of her ex-spouse.
By sharing her story, Naomi provides insight into recognizing and identifying
the characteristics of family violence that are often overlooked. Please
see the poster for more information.
Purple Box: The purple box is nearly empty, any donations of juice, granola bars etc, for this very important part of our outreach ministry will be greatly appreciated.
Summer is here (we hope) and as of July 6th, we will join the Lutherans for Sunday Services in the Chapel. The service will start at 10 am (please note time change) and will continue at that time and place until we return to our own space on September 7th.
