"God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love." - Psalm 103:8

The overall message of all the Exodus readings during our Season of Oasis (September 13 - October 18) is God’s ever-present offering of nourishment in the wilderness: bringing manna to the hungry, pouring forth water for the thirsty, providing guidance for how to be in community. Contemplating these themes, a Season of Oasis emerged!

Come journey with Moses and all of us, opening up to God’s nurturance in the wilderness. New Life is being nourished. And God is always present with and for us, whatever wilderness surrounds us.

The United Church of Canada is asking for letters to the Canadian Government regarding Universal Basic Income. Please read the article on their website and consider taking action.

The Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) is set to end this fall. Help make history and call on our government to roll out a universal basic income program that would ensure a guaranteed annual income for everyone adequate to meet basic needs, allowing all people to live with dignity regardless of work status. E-mail our prime minister and deputy prime minister today. Take action! https://www.united-church.ca/social-action/act-now/create-universal-basic-income-program
