Food Bank Drive 2025

  

Our Youth Group is gearing up for this year’s really BIG food drive for the Hunger Stop, our local food bank. Last year, we were successful in collecting 436 pounds in food and $571.54 in cash donations… and we think we can do it again! Food insecurity is hitting 1 in 7 households locally and we are answering the call to help. Over the next three weeks, we will be highlighting areas of specific need but all donations are gratefully accepted.

Join us in helping our neighbours! And THANK YOU!

From the Hunger Stop:

We keep this updated as often as possible to reflect the needs of our families. Financial donations / gift cards are also welcome so that we can continue to provide the perishable items to our families (e.g., milk, eggs, cheese, fresh produce, yogurt, margarine, ground meat).

O Canada

At the end of our service, we sing ‘O Canada’. One person reported having tears in her eyes as she sang our national anthem in light of the uncertainty coming from our southern neighbour. 

We’ll be singing “O Canada” at the end of worship every Sunday as our pledge to Canada: “the true North strong and free.” Our service usually ends about 11:30; plan to pause and sing along with us from wherever you are! (It might be great fun if you are with a crowd!) 🎶🎶🎶

About the Senior Choir

 

Singing has been most enjoyable this year as we have had the benefit of a number of new members and lots of enthusiasm. Of course, as always, new members are most welcome. 

This year on the Sunday before Christmas we will be doing the cantata Joy which we sang several years ago. At that time a number of folks joined us for this performance and again, this year the invitation is extended. The cantata, as its name suggests, is most joyful and a pleasure to sing. Should you be interested in joining us talk to Neil or simply show up in the Choir Room about 7:30 on Thursday night. Rehearsals are now underway.
