! S"INING 'IG"T IN "!MI'TON
Almanarah is an Arabic word that means Hlighthouse.I )ith support
from Presbyterians Sharing Almanarah (hurch is sharing (hristDs light
with Arabic"speaking people in and around 0amilton, <ntario. *his
church draws people from many places, including 1gypt, Ira+, udan
and 1thiopia. 'embers feel a real sense of belonging. A refugee
woman started to attend unday worship after bringing her four"year"
old son to the churchDs vacation :ible school. he is happy to be able
to read the :ible in her own language. At a recent service, as the
children were leaving the chapel for unday school with their teacher, a
seven"year"old udanese boy who attends church with his brother and
grandmother excitedly called out, HI love this churchJI As the Rev. Amin
'ansour says, H)hat a blessingJI
Presbyterians Sharing shines Christs light
