ACWAB (A Common Word Alberta) is a legacy of Donna Entz's North Edmonton Ministries work, supporting events that are interfaith to bring together Muslims and Christians for understanding and friendship. In the last two years, the planning committee has been focusing on the topic of our scriptural responsibility to act upon the TRC Calls to Action. This year, we are excited that we will be in the care of an Indigenous Elder from the Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples to learn together, and dialogue together about what are called to do in the context of historic harm and current systemic injustices experienced by the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people.

Continue to keep the people of Myanmar in your prayers as conflict there continues, forcing people to leave their homes.
Pastor Leng Thang of the Calgary Chin Christian Church reports that many cities and villages are struggling with food shortages as the transportation links are being used by the military. Food prices have significantly increased. Internet lines have been cut creating communication challenges. Children haven’t been in school for two years, since the coup, and now idle youth are damaging their lives with drugs and alcohol. Some pastors are being tortured, arrested and some churches have been burned down.
Please pray for the Chin people both those in Myanmar and those who have left their homes and families behind. Consider making a donation to meet the urgent needs of the Chin people.
