A Sunday for Nepal and the PWRDF

St. Anne’s, Steveston has for a long time supported the work and ministry of the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund. On Sunday, June 7th that support was directed particularly to helping the people of Nepal after the devastating earthquakes there.  

After the 10am service, the PWRDF contact person for St. Anne’s, the Rev. Gladys Olsen, organized a “Hunger Lunch” in the church hall. Those who attended enjoyed a bowl of potato cheddar soup, with crackers and a cup of water. Donations of about $575 were received! Following the lunch, a number of youth from the parish entertained us with their talents: Serena and Sarah sang, Trevor showed us tricks on his yo-yo, and Natalie and Olivia each played musical pieces on their violin. How gifted are these young people!  

In the afternoon, in the church, the Music Director for St. Anne’s, Jonathan Der, offered a violin recital, showcasing the talents of his violin students. We are grateful to Jonathan and his students and their parents and those who generously donated $600 towards the work that the PWRDF is doing to help the people of Nepal.  

Thanks be to God for all those who donated so generously at the lunch and recital!

“Glory to God, whose power working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine!”
