Leaside United Church Census

December 4, 2017

A dedicated group of people are working hard to gather important information about our community and our congregation as we think about our future. Part of this work is a church census that will ask questions about you, your engagement with the church, and your spiritual life. We’d like to have everyone complete the census – all those who attend Leaside regularly or irregularly, as well as those who do not attend worship but have another connection to and an interest in the church. The more input we have on our congregation, our interests, and our hopes for the future, the better our mission and ministry will be.

Looking for Sponsor

October 10, 2017

Below is a request for a potential sponsor for extended family members of a sponsored refugee family …

Good Afternoon,
… a friend is involved in two groups in Erin, Ontario sponsoring refugee families. One is here; one is coming.
She was working in a camp in Athens and got to know a young refugee travelling on his own named Nasser. He got to Canada as a refugee , lives in Scarborough and now works … for one of the copy companies.
… She is engaged now to try to find sponsors for Nasser’s extended family : two groups.
The SAH’s have used their 2017 quotas but are lining up applications to file in January 2018. Hence there is some urgency in this.
This friend asked if I could pass on a request to assist in one of two ways:

– Take on sponsorship of one family group. They will live in Scarborough in a building with several cousins. They have a good network to support themselves on non-financial adjustment. Barbara will assist.
– Fundraise all or part of $35,000 to fund the Erin group to sponsor the second family.
…. can you pass this to the broader network of groups that you are networked into, in case there is a group of people looking for a family to sponsor or a way to assist?

Many Thanks,
An LUCCRRC member
