Glebe Road Refugee Sponsorship Update

We have raised $78,553 of our $96,000 goal!

The Glebe Road Refugee Committee continues to be in regular contact with the family we are sponsoring. Unfortunately, the conflict involving Iran has had a significant impact on them, as it has on so many others living in poverty throughout the region. 

Thousands of refugees who had been living in Iran have crossed into neighbouring countries, placing additional strain on already fragile economies and humanitarian systems. The conflict has disrupted transportation routes, increased fuel prices, and raised the cost of imported goods. As a result, many families are facing higher food and living costs at a time when poverty is already widespread.

Financial donations to support our refugee family are greatly appreciated and especially needed at this time. We ask that you continue to remember our refugee family, and all those affected by the conflict, in your prayers. In hope and prayer,

“All in the Family” Summer Sermon Series — The Young and the Marriageable: Isaac and Rebekah

Genesis 24:34-38,42-49,58-67 — God is in the details. Abraham's servant arrives on a mission: find a wife for Isaac among his master's own kin. He recounts a desert prayer for a sign—and how Rebekah appeared at the well, fulfilling it perfectly. Convinced this is divine providence, her family asks if she'll go. Rebekah agrees without hesitation, journeying to meet a stranger who becomes her husband. Isaac falls for her instantly, finding comfort after grief. A whirlwind romance, written in the stars.

“All in the Family” Summer Sermon Series — The Bold and the Biblical: Abrahams Test

The Bold and the Biblical: Abrahams Test. Genesis 22:1-14 — Breaking the bonds and defying death. God puts Abraham through the unthinkable: sacrifice his beloved son Isaac as an offering. Without protest, Abraham sets out, the question of "where's the lamb?" hanging heavy between father and son. At the final moment, knife raised, an angel intervenes—God provides a ram instead. Faith proven, covenant secured, and a name given to the place: the Lord will provide. A gripping test of trust pushed to its absolute limit.

World Refugee Day 2026

“All in the Family” Summer Sermon Series — As the Desert Turns: The Rescue of Hagar and Ishmael

As the Desert Turns: The Rescue of Hagar and Ishmael Genesis 21:8-21 — In a desolate desert, a new nation is born. Sarah demands Hagar and Ishmael be sent away, fearing for Isaac's inheritance. Abraham hesitates, but God reassures him: Isaac carries the covenant, yet Ishmael won't be abandoned. Cast into the wilderness with dwindling supplies, Hagar fears her son will die of thirst—until a divine intervention reveals a hidden well and renews God's promise. Ishmael survives, growing up under God's protection to forge his own destiny in the desert.
