A real way for every concerned Christian to speak truth, love, and action into the City of Greater Sudbury
What is it?
Take 5 for Sudbury is a program that involves individuals, churches, groups, and ultimately God. We agree to take 5 minutes to become informed about an issue of concern to the community, and covenant together to pray for that issue. We also agree to participate in raising the issue as the spirit of God acts in us according to our prayers. The actions are often small and simple, yet it is amazing what God can do when many work together in unity.
What Campaign?
A.C.E.S. identifies issues of concern to the community and culture and organizes a campaign of information, prayer and action. These campaigns can be limited or on-going depending on the need. This web page will be updated regularly to let you know what action is taking place within the campaign. Current campaigns include:
- The Prayer Page HERE
- The March for life HERE
- The Family Friendly Checkout (completed) HERE
- The Morgentaler Petition (completed) HERE
It's easy to participate:
- Take 5 FOR FAITH: Spend 5 minutes a day to pray for the campaign at hand. Ask God if there is something He would have you fast during this special time and commit it to him (Coffee? TV? Chocolate?...)
- Take 5 FOR ACTION: If the Holy Spirit of God calls you to action, follow the campaign guideline and contact us for more information and discussion.
YOU'RE DONE!
James 2:14-18, 26 (The Message version):
14-17 Dear friends, do you think you'll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, "Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!" and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup—where does that get you? Isn't it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense?
18 I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, "Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I'll handle the works department." Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works.
26 Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove. Separate faith and works and you get the same thing: a corpse.
