St. Mary, Regina to sponsor South Sudan refugees By Rev. Nathaniel Deng Mayen
Recording the miracles of Jesus
On Oct. 18, Christians around the world celebrate the feast of St. Luke, the physician and companion of St. Paul whose gospel preserved the most extensive biography of Jesus Christ. St. Luke wrote a greater volume of the New Testament than any other single
author, including the earliest history of the Church. Ancient traditions also acknowledge Luke as the founder of Christian iconography, making him a patron of artists as well as doctors and other medical caregivers. Photo by Renata Sedmakova/Shutterstock

REGINA — St. Mary the Virgin Anglican Church is sponsoring a South Sudanese family of six, who currently live in a Ugandan refugee camp. In order to make this possible, the church needs to raise $9,000 more before the end of this year, as well as $18,000 next year, before the family arrives in Canada. St. Mary’s asks friends and congregations in the Diocese of Qu’Appelle to support this work through prayers and through the following fundraising options: * Direct donations to St. Mary Anglican Church, with a memo line “South Sudanese Family Sponsorship.” Please mail cheques to St. Mary the Virgin Anglican Church, 3337 – 15th Ave. Regina, Sask., S4T 1T3. * Attend the South Sudanese Food Fair – a fundraiser to be held Oct. 26 from 4 to 7 p.m. in St. Mary’s upper hall. Meals, ready to be taken home to enjoy, will be prepared by the South Sudanese people in Regina, in support of the family in the refugee camp. * Donate cans and bottles – St. Mary’s will collect cans and bottle to recycle. Regina residents may contact Amanda Hayward (306-584-1590), Elizabeth Deng (639-571-0149), or Nathaniel Deng Mayen (306-716-6380) for a flyer about the recycling Continued on page 4
