English Announcements - Feb 12, 2023

1.     The devastating earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria have caused tens of thousands of lives since February 6, and countless injured and homeless. Please pray for the victims, the rescuers, and the recovery process. Please also give generously to help with the relief effort. To expedite financial aids reaching those in need, the Board of Elders recommend that you donate online to your favourite charity, including the Global Emergency Response Fund of the Alliance Canada:
