Jasper United Church
The United Church of Canada continues to pray for the congregation of Jasper United Church, which lost its church building in the recent devastating wildfires. We also share our prayers for congregation of St. Mary and St. George Anglican Church, which also lost their church building in the fire, as well as for the wider community of Jasper, AB, and for all those affected by climate-change sparked fires in so many places across Canada.
Moderator Carmen Lansdowne has written to Jasper United minister, Rev. Linda McLaren, and the church board expressing the concern of the national church:
"I pray for peace of mind to return in its time. And for you and the congregation in your care to rise in strength from the ashes, to rebuild and to heal together. It will be a long road, but walking together will lighten the load. You have our support and also our prayers. May we continue to hold firm to hope and God’s promise of new and renewed life."
Jasper United Church is sharing updates on their Facebook page about the loss of their church building and the impact of the wildfires on the whole community.
If you'd like to contribute financially to Jasper United and the recovery and relief efforts, you can donate through the Northern Spirit Regional Council webpage.

The invasion of Ukraine is costing precious lives and creating a humanitarian crisis as people flee to safety.
