We would like to thank everyone who enjoyed our hot dogs on Sunday. Our BBQ was a great success as it was a beautiful day and we raised $442.68! We have some drinks and a few bags of chips left over which we will be selling off at a future date so you can look forward to that!
Thanks everyone!!

H1N1 cases in the USA pass 1 million
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now estimate that over one million people in the USA have been infected with H1N1 and of those 127 have died. That would make the infection death rate 0.000127%, so obviously most of those cases have been mild. Confirmed cases around the world continue to rise but it seems that this pandemic is far reaching but not that serious. The NY Times is suggesting that 500,000 in that city alone could have been infected based on flu cases in the public school system.
Are we concerned about H1N1 in Mexico - NO. Are we concerned about the poverty of the migrant workers we are going to visit and the lack of general health care that they have - YES.

The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada has released the second edition of its Code of Best Practice in Short-Term Mission. The code can be downloaded for free but if you want the accompanying resource listing and bibliography it will cost $10.
As good stewards we want to ensure that our preparation, our time in Mexico, and our return to Canada honours God and his Church so we will be taking careful consideration of the items covered in this guide.
