2018 Missional Budget - written to inspire!

Church budgets tend to be a bit dry for everyone except those who get excited by numbers. That's why we set out to do a budget this year that reflects our passion and our calling to be the church

Can a budget inspire? We think so!

Information about Malawi

In the world there is much need, and unfortunately some people have the will but no way to change things for the better. This is the kind of situation that is in Malawi where they are being afflicted with poor education and famine. A child is lucky to make it to adulthood because of the circumstances in this country; but we can help. In April 2 of members are going to Malawi on a PWS&D trip.  Please keep this trip and the participants in your prayers.

World Day of Prayer

Everyone is welcome to attend.  

Worship begins at 1:00 pm with light refreshments following the service.

Upcoming events to mark in your calendar!

There are lots of things coming up.  Please mark your calendars. 

More information will follow in our bulletins and newsletters.

Silent Auction at the Spaghetti Dinner!

At this Saturday's Spaghetti Dinner there will also be a Silent Auction.

If you aren't able to attend the dinner, but like any of the items up for auction please feel free to ask us to bid for you!

All proceeds will be directed to PWS&D's work in Malawi.

Here are pictures (admittedly not the best quality) of only 3 of the items.  There are also, hand made greeting cards, hand knit items, a gift bag from Ferrero Canada (yum - chocolate), dinner for two at The Stables, a manicure at Tips & Toes, a shampoo & cut at Continental Hairstyling, a special "Hespeler" package and more.

The dinner is at 6:00 pm, but feel free to come a bit early to view the auction items and put your bid down.

Malawi Update

We are lucky to live in a land of plenty, however not all do. In Malawi people go without even the most basic of necessities. We need to reach out and send people to them, so they can be helped and put in a better place and survive.

This mission is coordinated by the PWS&D to help education development, hospital improvement, village health programs as well as HIV and AIDS programs to help inform people on the threat of this disease.

We need to raise $500 per member by mid-March 2018 to be successful in sending our congregation members. Please contact Peter Moyer, Bill Pettit, Jean Godin or Elaine Benson from the Mission and Outreach Committee for further details. Or call the church office to be put in contact with one of these people.
