The following comes to us from Jean-Daniel Williams, McGill chaplain.
Dear colleagues,
This weekend about 25 of our young adults are going on our annual retreat to spend time with one another, building community, worshipping, envisioning future social justice and religious projects, and generally frolicking in the snow.
The McGill Ecumenical Chaplaincy is centred at McGill but our ministries include young professionals and students at all of Montréal's universities.
I simply ask in ways that are appropriate to you personally and in your church's Sunday worship to keep us in your prayers. These retreats have in the past been times of profound vocational discernment and developing personal relationships. These retreats have had an important role in some upcoming ordinations and weddings!
We do in fact have many amazing, committed, and passionate young people in our church. I appreciate you keeping our ministry to them and them in your prayers particularly this weekend. Telling them that United and Anglican churches across the province are praying for them has been deeply meaningful to them in years past.
Sincerely,
Jean-Daniel
