We Help in the Community . . .
We reach out to people in our community in a number of ways throughout the year.
Inner City Pastoral Ministry We work with Inner City Pastoral Ministry to serve a Sunday lunch for 300+ inner-city folks at Bissell Center (Yearly)
Jasper Place Wellness Center January/February/March we help the homeless and needy at the Jasper Place Wellness Center. On Saturday nights we help cook and serve soup and buns to anyone who wants to drop in. This is a west-end interfaith project that we all enjoy.
Bissell Center We support the Bissell Center with one of our Sunday offerings. We also make sandwiches for them at least twice a year. The whole congregation gets together after church in pairs to help make up these sandwiches. We also gather clothing and essentials for the Center if they indicate a need. Drop Your Gonch campaign for Bissell Centre - Did you know that underwear is the single most-needed and requested item at Bissell Centre? Normally at this time of year? Bissell would be organizing their annual Drop Your Gonch campaign, seeking donations of underwear and bras in all sizes. Due to their significant loss of funding recently, they are not able to organize and promote this campaign this year. Therefore, we will do what we can.
There is a box marker “Underwear for Bissell” under the coat rack where donations can be placed. There is no limited time to collect underwear. Even a few pairs make a difference.
We support the greater programs of the United Church on the national level through the Mission and Service funds given in our Sunday offerings.
If you have new ideas, please share them with us. Reaching out is important. It keeps us connected and strong and enriches us all.
