A LIGHT FOR ALEPPO http://www.alightforaleppo.org/ 
A candle will be lit at upcoming Contemplative Evening Prayers NOVEMBER 20th @ 7:30 pm
St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church 3025 – 264th Street Aldergrove/Langley
Lorie Martin and Cathy AJ Hardy
In addition to the Contemplative Evening Prayer Gathering on Nov. 20th we are joining the Light for Aleppo gatherings around the world. Our sung prayers will hold with hope the hearts and lives of those who suffer. Truly Hope is Deeper than Despair. May it be so. Painting attached: Light Overcomes the Darkness by Herta Klassen.com
Will you join us by lighting a beacon on Sunday 20 November to help raise awareness for the crises in Aleppo?
The beacons can be as simple as lighting a candle in a window, though we are also hoping for a number of community gatherings and the lighting of fires with churches and faith communities being integral to this vision. People feel so helpless and frustrated about what is happening in Syria. We hope that this initiative will help the movement for peace in Aleppo and let the people, aid workers, charities, and victims of war know that they are not forgotten. We have already heard from people in parts of the UK and in other countries who intend to join in. In this way, a path of light might well reach from here to Aleppo, or at least to Syrian borders, and spread hope, and may even help save lives.
