Let's take back our city streets!!
This month we are praying that people in every neighbourhood and every community in the GTA take back the city streets!! It's time for people to come together like never before and this includes everyone! All need to feel like they belong and are accepted in their community. No one being left out or made to feel different from the rest. And anyone who doesn't seem to fit in or appears to be withdrawing from others or appears to be in distress
needs to be reached out to and invited to be a part!!

to those bright city lights!

Or trips to the island, this city is for those who love and celebrate life!
(For website click here)What we are praying for:
God, help everyone who suffers mental illness and all who have suffered rejection, and those who feel lonely or isolated to get the help they need.
Help our communities to provide the right services for these individuals and make them accessible.
Help us to recognize those in distress and how to reach out to them. Raise up groups to offer support.
Raise up people in every neighbourhood to pray for their community.
God, bring your comfort, salvation and healing to those who suffered violence and those bereaved. Help those in charge restore peace to our city streets.
God, help everyone to be loving and respectful no matter their differences in race, religion or sexuality.
Scriptures from the Bible:
Galatians 6:2. Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
1 Peter 4:8-10. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
John 13:34-35. A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Scriptures from the Quran:
1. Goodness does not consist in turning your face towards East or West. The truly good are those who believe in God and the Last Day, in the angels, the Scripture, and the prophets; who give away some of their wealth, however much they cherish it, to their relatives, to orphans, the needy, travelers and beggars and to liberate those in debt and bondage; those who keep up the prayers and pay the prescribed alms; who keep pledges whenever they make them; who are steadfast in misfortune, adversity and times of danger. These are the ones who are true, and it is they who are aware of God.
(Al Quran 2:178)
Continue to enjoy life and take advantage of the choice to help others always!
Thank you for praying for the peace and well being of our great city!

Hot time in July 2018
Summer is here at last!! And the heat is building! With the plants growing full and tall, the skies so deep and blue, and all the critters around, our world has come alive! It's the perfect environment to spur on our imagination. Are you open to the beauty around you? Can you imagine great things coming to you? Can you see your world as a better place in the future? Imagine, dream the best and not the worst!
Imagine, John Lennon
Imagine all the people of the world
living together as one!

Deep inside, what do you hope for?
What is that little voice inside your heart telling you to do
so healing will come to the world around you?
Keep your hopes up!
Everything has a time. Everything has an answer.
Keep doing what you know,
just one foot in front of the other,
step by step by step.
Don't give up! Keep building!
Beauty will come from your efforts!
What we are praying for:
God, please pour out your spirit and inspire people in our communities to let you fill their hearts with your love. May they feel your presence and know you are real. Enable them to forgive and reach out to those around them with your love.
God, protect all public gatherings, the celebrations and fund raisers.
May people everywhere be safe. Help those in charge to have the wisdom
to stop all acts of violence and prevent accidents.
God, help those who organize protests to do it safely and respectfully. May protests be effective, bringing change
that is necessary. Protect all who support them. Stop those who try to bring the protests to violence.

Scriptures and meditations:
1 John 4: 7. Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Jeremiah 29: 11. God's plans are to prosper you and to give you hope and a future.
Philippians
4: 6-8. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by
prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally,
brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Thank you for praying with us!

This month's Theme:
To believe is to love, to take action is to live! What action do you do on a daily basis that makes the world a better place? This month we are celebrating life! In all it's glory and pain. It takes effort to live on this planet but it's worth it!! Love is the key that unlocks all possibilities and guides the way!
Where is your heart, what do you believe in, what are you proud to be a part of? What do you do when dreams fail or things don't happen as planned? Maybe you just experienced a detour and you have to change your plans or even your beliefs. In any case are you still proud to be you? Do you still believe in love?
What we are praying for:
Let's continue to pray that people everywhere will walk away from fear when they have to face trying times. May they continue to be proud and have the courage to do what is necessary to overcome adversity no matter what it is, whether it is disease, loss, danger, or persecution. Love from above always prevails and preserves! It should always be our motive and guide.
God, we pray for all fathers that you watch over, protect and guide with your wisdom and love.
Scriptures and meditations:
Matthew 5:16. Let your light shine so that people can see your good works, be thankful and be inspired to do the same!
John 8:31-32. If you follow the teachings of love then you will come to know the truth and the truth will set you free!
1John 1:5-7. But if we walk in the light as God is in the light, we have fellowship with him and the blood of Jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin.
Thanks for praying with us!
More to come!!

May 2018
This month we are remembering those who suffered acts of violence including those affected by the attack on the streets in North York. We remember those bereaved and those injured and those traumatized. We will be praying for safety in our streets throughout North America. We also pray for those in Humboldt and all those affected by the accident that took the lives of many of their hockey team.
We must not fear. We must remember that we are watched over, that we are loved and that as we love,
the opportunities to grow and learn and give will come to us.
April this year was more like January, but finally warmed up the last week. So the sun with the colourful blooms are coming, if a little late.
The dark and gloom is disappearing and our hearts are being lifted up at last!
What we are praying for:God, comfort and heal those who are injured and those who are traumatized and those who are bereaved. Help all to live without fear in honour of
loved ones lost. Help all to continue their dreams and encourage others to grow and fulfill their dreams too. Strengthen them from within by your Spirit.
Help those in charge to make our streets and highways safe. Help our health care system provide the help needed to those suffering mental illness. Help everyone to recognize those in distress and reach out to them before they become offenders.
Help everyone to allow your love in their hearts and work together for peace.
Scriptures:
Matthew 11: 28-30. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Romans 8: 11. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
2
Corinthians 1:3-4. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all
comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort
others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same
comfort God has given us.
Isaiah 40: 29-31
He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Thanks for praying with us!

Songs for April
Click here to see more Spring colour!
April showers bring May flowers!
Now with Spring comes the rain! The rain's pure water refreshes the earth and restores her!
It brings the right conditions for the seeds to germinate, sending out roots to grow the plants
and feed the blooms.
Let the warm rains of Spring refresh you, heal you, strengthen you and wash you clean!
It may seem gloomy now, but sunshine and colour will soon bring a new day!!
James Glaab
It's clear, it magnifies and intensifies the light. It freshens the air and washes everything clean!
Without water nothing can live.
Rejoice in the rain!
Wait for God to raise you up!
Click here for 3 Proven ways to make your biggest dreams come true:What we are praying for:
God, we pray that our neighbours will never lose hope. Help them to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel during their dark times. Help them to learn how to take care of themselves and those around them when times are hard. Help them to remember their spiritual side as well as their physical.
God help our neighbours to take the time to nurture their spirits on the good days.
Help them to feed on all that is healthy. Help them to take advantage of all the help available to them and help others when they can.
Scriptures:
Often the scriptures of the Bible are referred to as water, saying it feeds us and washes us clean and we can't live without it.
Hosea 6:3. Let us press on to know God, who comes to us everyday like the brilliant dawn, like a fresh spring rain!
2 Corinthians 4:16. Our inner being is renewed every day!
Matthew 11: 28-30. Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls."

Happy Resurrection Day!! April 1, 2018
By His wounds we are healed! By His death we are saved from death!
Because of His resurrection we will be resurrected to life Eternal!
Easter 2018
Happy Resurrection Day!!
The killing of Jesus was not the end.
It was just the beginning!
What Happened?!
THINK ABOUT IT! The disciples are
probably in shock. They just witnessed the brutal execution of this
loving man they thought was going to bring freedom from the Romans.
They remember some of what Jesus said about being raised to life, but
they are unsure what He meant and are struggling to believe it. Life
around them in the city is back to normal but they have no idea what
is to happen next...
