The Special Offering for October is for the Langley Food Bank which operates out of two locations, one in Aldergrove and one in Langley.  The Langley Food Bank is a not-for profit incorporated society. It does not receive any government support and therefore is entirely funded through the support of local churches, organizations, and individuals.  You can give online throughout the month of October. Click here to make a donation through Tithe.ly or go to Langley Food Bank

BEIRUT RESPONSE UPDATE:  World Renew would like to extend thanks to Canadian churches and individuals who responded in love by giving to the Beirut response—over $500,000 has been received and many gifts are having double the impact with the Canadian government's match. In the immediate,  6,000 hot meals have been provided to families affected by the blast. World Renew is committed to a longer-term response of providing food vouchers, hygiene kits, COVID-19 informational leaflets, and winterization supplies (blankets, warm clothes, stoves, and fuel) to vulnerable families. Pray for our Lebanese brothers and sisters. Want to stay update?
