Prayers for Peacemakers. 27 April 2017

Today let us lift in our prayers those who “pray with
their feet” and advocate for the rights of the Indigenous peoples. On 23
April, a group of mainly Christians has set out on a 600 km (around 375 miles)
long pilgrimage through the Canadian province of Ontario. CPT Indigenous
Peoples Solidarity Team co-organizes the pilgrimage.       

Let us pray that the eyes, ears and hearts of lawmakers and
settlers of Canada and around the world be opened and embrace that to which God
calls us: truth, reconciliation and justice.

it.

From the Pilgrimage Planning Team

The Pilgrimage for Indigenous Rights is a 600 km walk
from Kitchener to Ottawa in support of the adoption and implementation of the
United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Comprised
mostly of Christians, we are seeking to make right our relationships with host
peoples in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to
Action.

We continue to invite your support through your
prayers, words of encouragement,
donations,
and your ongoing connection with our progress via
Facebook
and Instagram
. We also invite you to join us when we come through your neighbourhood – see our daily schedule.

Pilgrimage 1

Psalm 89:14-15

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your
throne.

Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship,

for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.

Septermber Supper Fundraiser

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.
