DESCRIPTION:St. David’s United Church Offers Prayers For Serenity In A Ti
 me Of Decision Making\n \nIn the lead up to the October 19\, 2026 referen
 dum\, St. David’s United Church in Leduc\, Alberta\, will be hosting sil
 ent prayer gatherings in the sanctuary at St. David's every evening from O
 ctober 1 to 18 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. \n \n“The purpose for the meet
 ings is not to have a discussion on any of the ten referendum questions. T
 he purpose is not to tell anyone how to vote. It is\, instead\, meant to a
 llow people to reflect\, inwardly\, in community. It is also for people fo
 r whom the referendum is causing anxiety\, confusion\, worry for what the 
 referendum itself means\, and what will come next\, whatever the outcome o
 n any of the questions\,” said Rev. Leigh Sinclair\, pastor at St. David
 ’s. “Our faith community has chosen to offer a prayerful and safe spac
 e in the lead up to the referendum. People are in need of comfort and enco
 uragement\, and we wanted the community at large to know that they are not
  alone.”\n \n“Besides the need for solace in a troubling time\, peopl
 e may also take this time to consider how it is they will be voting\, and 
 for what reasons. We want to offer our space for folks to consider their T
 reaty responsibilities and our belief in loving all neighbours\, not just 
 some.”\n \n“The silent prayer evenings\, therefore\, are to allow not
  only for a place for calm in the storm\, but also to invite the public to
  reflect upon and discern what the meaning of each vote will be\, how best
  to live in community\, and how to be a neighbour to one another.”
