Hands Across Niagara

 
Hands Across Niagara
			

	
	
Making a difference in Jesus' name through justice & servant ministries at 
home and around the world		
		
Through the prayers and generosity of Anglicans in the Diocese of Niagara, 
Hands Across Niagara supports our ability to engage God's mission throughout 
our diocese and beyond as we live out our baptism  by committing to justice and servant ministries.

Every donation to Hands Across Niagara will be directed so that:
	- one third will go directly to your home parish to support justice and servant work in the local community,
	- one third funds grants for the kinds of ministry described in this brochure, and,
	- one third supports the mission of the Anglican Church of Canada.

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem"

This song is a prayer for peace in Jerusalem. Scripture says "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper who love thee" (Ps 122:6). We say amen and "Even so, come quickly LORD" (Rev 22:20).
