Haiti One Year Later

Hope still abounds in Haiti one year after the devastating earthquake as PWS&D works through the ACT Alliance, Canadian Foodgrains Bank and Canadian Churches in Action to help Haitians rebuild their homes and livelihoods, and provide food, clean water, art therapy programs, support for people living with disabilities and semi-permanent classrooms for children.

As a congregation we raised over $1000.00 for Haiti relief. With Government of Canada matching grants that became more than $2000.00 While the problems are still huge in Haiti , there is also good work being done there. We work with local church groups and bypass most of the bureaucracy to deliver directly to the people in need.

Once again, our Christmas tree was decorated by the congregation and friends of the congregtion.  An ornament with the person’s name attached was hung on our tree.  The names were in memory of, or in honour of family, friends and loved ones.   There were 144 names.

Thank you to all who participated.

Pageant Sunday

December 12th 10:00 a.m.

Despite the weather our Christmas Pageant during Sunday morning worship was a wonderful time for all. It was called “Would you like to hold the baby?” and involved many people from the congregation including our Sunday School, many choir members and others.

The lunch after the pageant was a great success as well!  The Youth Group prepared a full turkey dinner for lunch following the pageant. It was by freewill offering and proceeds went to the general fund of the church.

Thank you to all of you
