This can be anything: children's tylenol, bandaids, multi-vitamins, anything that will help kids. Please drop them off at the church or bring them to TILT. If you have any questions, email tilt (dot) toronto (at) gmail (dot) com.

CBC's Metro Morning, hosted by Andy Barrie, is doing a week of morning shows on poverty in Toronto. Some interesting interviews this morning about the working poor and pay day loans. Metro Morning's website is here - read each clip, or go to the five day archive.

Check out The Daily for the Star's resource on their War on Poverty. I am struck by the appeal to popularity that seems to be in every budget - go for the middle class!! Should we be supporting this kind of action? The Gospel is Good News for the poor, for the oppressed, for those who suffer injustice. I know money doesn't solve everything, but...anyhow...post your thoughts via comments!
Check the post in the Daily for one writer's opinion and a link to write your MP if you have something to say to them.
Here is also an interesting link to the blog of one of the speakers at the upcoming Evolving Church conference: Read it here.
TILT seeks to serve our city by fostering a growing, authentic, diverse community that will holistically encounter the mystery and healing of God together through worship and mission.
TILT is part of the wider Spring Garden Church community and we met here.
