While searching the United Church of Canada's website for news on our Japanese partners for worship, I came across a new United church overseas personnel for El Salvador. And beautifully, she's keeping a blog of her experience. I was so excited. Years ago, just out of university, I worked as a volunteer with one of our Salvadoran Mission Partners, Iglesia Bautista Immanuel.
I've never met Lynn Macaulay but her blog says she's from Ontario and from 2010 through 2011, she'll be working with one our United Church's mission partner's ADES (Social and Economic Development Agency) located in Cabanas, El Salvador. You can follow her writing through her blog,
Macaulay Calling. And just her blog title has such wonderful, faith-filled metaphors to ponder.
Our prayers continue for our Japanese brothers and sisters. Remember that one of the most effective ways to donate to emergency relief in Japan is through our United Church's World Development and Relief fund and that can be done through Sunday offerings or through our church office. For a beautiful meditation with which to pray for Japan, check out the Salt Project's piece called
Bright Sadness.
