Poems and prayers from the heart

Dorothy McKay is courageously living with secondary cancer.  It has been a long and difficult experience yet correspondingly, she has grown deeply in soul and spirit. Dorothy has published a collection of original poems; Wanting to Soar Like the Eagles, Upheld by Grace.  Akin to a conversation with the reader, it is a remarkably honest accessible offering of feeling, prayer and lived experience. Dorothy’s simple hope is that the poems will help provide others living with life-threatening cancer with someone to ‘talk’ with on the journey:

ELC’s admiration and deep belief in Dorothy’s collection moved us to order a reprint. They are available at the ELC office for $15 (postage $5). They are selling fast!

Be a Friend of ELC
Since its inception our Friends of ELC have numbered over 80.  Some have passed on or fallen by the wayside.  Today, there are 60 Friends, but this does not provide enough financial support to meet all our commitments.  I have a dream that in 2010 we will top all previous records by recruiting a total of 100 Friends. We can only achieve this if all our 2009 Friends renew their support and they all bring others into the fold. 

If you support the work of the Centre, please become a Friend. It is one of the few things that have not gone up in price, just $30 for an individual or $40 for a family. Your support will make such a difference to our bottom line and enable us to do even more.
