February 18 is KAIROS Sunday
One: The road we walk may seem long
All: God will grant us persistence.
One: The vision may seem dim
All: God will grant us wisdom.
One: The companions may seem few 
All: God will grant us courage.
One: The task may seem impossible 
All: God will grant us faith.  Amen.

It is still ours to plant the seeds: a KAIROS worship service for hope in action. 
This is an ecumenical service of worship to be used in whole or in part to strengthen commitment to social justice; simply choose what you need. This service could be used on KAIROS Sunday  (the Sunday before Lent or another Sunday that you choose) to highlight the ministry of faith in action of the Canadian churche’s social justice organization  KAIROS.  PWRDF is a member of KAIROS.
Kairos “What’ that?” 
It’s a Greek word meaning a moment of crisis and opportunity, a decisive moment to act in hope. But it is also an organization that unites eleven Canadian churches and church agencies, including our own church, in work for social justice. KAIROS advocates on a broad range of justice issues while supporting anti-poverty initiatives in Canada and social change groups in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Collaborating with 100 local ecumenical groups, KAIROS promotes grassroots education and action that is popular and principled.
