Dear Rectors, Pastors and Church leaders,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has granted us peace and joy during this challenging time!

Lately a few of us have been busy trying to put together a virtual VBS for this summer.  It has been much joy and fun as we try to record the different segments of each VBS station.

You’ll probably ask:

What is the purpose for this virtual VBS? And who are they for? Continue reading →

Dear Parents,

How are you doing? Really, how are you really doing?

We’re all facing the uncertainty of the COVID-19 global pandemic TOGETHER, and I’m sure you’re feeling the pressure every day. We are all tired. I’m sure your family is tired as well. It is obvious that our everyday lives have been changed. And everyone is just trying to navigate life.

Here at AMMiC, we are supporting you in prayers and with the hope to serve alongside with you as you face these challenges at home.  It is important to not ONLY keep your children safe physically, but for their emotional well-being as well. Children’s reactions will vary from child to child. Some will be clingy. Some may require extra attention. Some may have difficulty with sleeping and eating. As parents, we will need to be empathetic. Be calm. Be patient. Be supportive. Be caring and validate their feelings. With that in mind, I have provided below links to “Time Capsule for kids” and “Time Capsule for adults” workbook for you.  These workbooks are designed and offered by Natalie Long of LONG Creations.  Natalie is a mother, like many of you are; she is also the ‘creator’ of this Covid-19 Time Capsule.  This coloring workbook activity will give you and your child an opportunity to walk through this historical time together, sharing each of your concerns, worries, and hope; a conversation starter for you and your children, so you will be able to ease the pressure and tension that you’re facing.  As Natalie mentioned in her sharing, “This is something I designed for fellow families with children living through this difficult time, it is meant as a GIFT not for profit!” My thanks go to Natalie for her generosity and her love for all our families with young children.

Feel free to download and print them out. If you have trouble doing that, or if you do not have a printer handy, please let me know and I will mail you a copy. I hope you will enjoy doing this activity with your children. Let us be creative!

Again, if at any time you need someone to talk to or pray with, please do not hesitate to email or phone me.  I would love to pray for you specifically if you want to share your personal prayer requests with me. All these will be kept confidential.  Even though we need to observe the social distancing, we are just a phone-call away!

Your friend in-Christ,

Valerie

One of the ways to keep connected with Brothers and Sisters in Christ is through prayer. AMMiC has been collecting prayer items from our associated churches, church plants and missions point each month which can be found on our Monthly Prayer Calendar Page. In addition, you can also keep connected and prayer for our diocese, the Anglican Network in Canada, with their monthly calendar and additional prayer resources.

In our worldwide communion, The Global Anglican Futures Conferences (Gafcon) has released a new initiative called Moments & Prayer which is designed to help Gafcon churches to keep in touch each week on Thursdays with a simple news sharing and prayer request that will assist in keeping our wider church family up to date with how God is at work around the world. You can follow along on Gafcon’s Moment & Prayer page.
