You may also call the office at 368-5693 (please leave a message if there is no answer), or you may email [email protected]. Thank you.
  • Office Help Needed:  Now that we are returning to some semblance of normal, we are compiling a list of people who would be interested in providing relief in the event that our office administrator is absent. You would be in the office on any given day, Monday to Friday, from 9 – 12.   If you are able to help with this ministry, please contact the office at [email protected] or call 368-5693. We appreciate your help in this matter.

  • Home Again Furniture’s Heads Without Beds Campaign:    Our Heads Without Beds campaign runs from April 4 - 29. By giving up your bed for just one night, you’re helping to ensure others won’t have to do without a bed for night after night. Registration is now open. You can help by registering to participate: www.headswithoutbeds.ca. This year we’ve made it easier than ever: when you register, you’ll have access to fundraising tips, sample emails, and social media messages, as well as the option to personalize your own fundraising page!  All registrants will receive weekly emails with sample messages you can share with your networks.
  • Phones in Church:  Please remember to turn your phone off or put it on silent when attending services. Thanks very much for your cooperation.
  • Church Givings:  If you have offerings for the church, you may:
    • drop them off at the drop box on the front steps (to the right). This mailbox will be monitored regularly;
    • e-transfer to [email protected] (password: church). Be sure to indicate where you would like your donation allocated;
    • contact the office to sign up for preauthorized givings. Church office number is 368-5693 or email [email protected].
    • If you have givings at home and you are unable to bring them to the church, please let us know and we will arrange to have them picked up.
