Recent Letter of Support

To Our Neighbours and Friends,

The London Conference Rural Life Committee of the United Church of Canada (southwestern Ontario and Algoma) wish to let our fellow farmers know that we care. We have held you in our prayers and those who could, have donated crop. We too have experienced drought in many areas, sometimes only a concession road making the difference between enough rain and not enough rain.

Farming, is what it is, and we are the stewards of the land only for the time it is ours. Therefore, we need to stand together as prayer partners if that is all we are able to do. There have been other times of drought and we learned from those experiences. Hopefully, we can learn again the value of  stewardship and community, and have a true sense of what it means to 'care enough'.

Blessings to all of the farm families in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Sincerely,
Margaret Hern,
Chair,
London Conference Rural Life Committee
