Enjoy your Reading Break!
Praying for a time of rest and renewal over you all this week. May the Lord bless you and keep you!
We have a team of students and friends of UCM building a house in the Dominican Republic this week. Keep us in your prayers as well! If you are interested in joining the team next year, contact Stephanie at stephanie@ucmcalgary.org.
Encouragement of the Week
“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.”
Matthew 11: 28-30

“ I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.”
