Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat in Cache Creek, September 30 to October 2
Rachel’s Vineyard is a ministry to help those who are suffering from the pain caused by abortion. We know an abortion affects many more than just the mother and father involved. Siblings, grandparents, friends, health care workers, pregnancy crisis counsellors, etc. all can be traumatized by abortion. Rachel’s Vineyard also recognizes and helps with grief caused by other unresolved pregnancy losses.
It is NOT too late to sign up for the retreat. It will not be too late a week or a few a days ahead of time. It can be a very scary thing to commit to; we understand. For more information visit: facebook.com/rvkamloops
or call Nancy at 250-267-5081 or email rvkamloops@yahoo.ca.

Thank you from Mary-Anne and Frank Jamin!
Frank and I are very grateful for the many expressions of sympathy we received on the death of his mother, Theresa. The funeral took place at St. Anthony’s Parish in Calgary and his father’s ashes were placed in her casket for burial – two people of deep faith who overcame much during their adventurous lives are now at peace. While we mourn their passing we celebrate all they have been for us and our family. Thank you for your prayerful support. Mary-Anne Lewis Jamin
