A BIG THANK YOU …

goes out to all the people who have donated wool to Lorraine Button so that she can knit mittens, hats etc. for people in need. Lorraine received a massive amount of wool from one donor - enough to last her for the next three years! Therefore, she will no long need any more donations of wool at the present time, as she is running out of room/space to keep the wool. Of course, we also send out a BIG THANK YOU to Lorraine Button for her dedication and talent in creating these wonderful knitted items!

Prayer Request and Pastoral Care

If you have a prayer request, please call the church office at (705)738-5135 and we will pass your request through to our active Prayer Circle and Pastoral Care Teams or you may call Rev. Andrew Macpherson.
