Lest We Forget
Project Cozy 2025
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” — Acts 20:35
As we move toward Christmas, we are reminded of how much we have to be thankful for.
With winter — yes, winter — approaching , we once again are asking for your help in supporting, this years Project Cozy.
The Mission’s Committee is collecting 25 sets of hats, mitts or gloves, and scarves to be donated to the residents of Ellen House. Donations of travel-sized shampoo and body wash/shower gel would also be greatly appreciated.
We’ll also be assembling support bags for the Ontario Correctional Institute (OCI). For these, we need 10 each of the following items (travel-sized where possible):
*toothpaste
*toothbrushes
*body wash/shower gel
*deodorant, mouthwash, and
*combs.
Donations will be collected on Sundays from now until November 30, and items will be distributed at the start of Advent.
Thank you, as always, for your generosity and for helping make these outreach efforts a success!

Are You on PAR (Pre-Authorized Remittance)?
With summer upon us—and many heading off on weekend
getaways or enjoying time at the cottage—the Stewardship
Committee invites you to consider joining Pre-Authorized
Remittance (PAR).
The work of the church continues throughout the summer,
and our ongoing ministries rely on regular weekly offerings.
If you’d like to sign up for PAR or learn more, please speak
with our Envelope Secretaries, who would be happy to help
you get set up.
The Stewardship Committee would like to thank everyone for your wonderful support of our two successful fundraising campaigns.
Thanks to you, beautiful hanging baskets are now adding blooms and vibrant colour to patios and backyards for many to enjoy this summer.
And the MacGregor Meats and Seafood orders have everyone’s mouths watering—just in time for busy summer gatherings and for celebrating Canada Day with the delicious aroma of barbecues.
A huge thank you goes out to P. Loree, C. Peyer, and M. Nicol for their dedication and hard work in running these fundraisers.
We truly appreciate everyone’s support
