Cash bar drinks will be sold separately from the entry fee to support our fundraising efforts.

Tickets are on sale NOW for $25 per person! Buy your own tickets and treat your neighbours, friends and relatives to what is expected to be a super fundraiser evening of quizzical proportions. Get your tickets now from Alison Jane in the Church Office or on Sundays from Neal Kelly or Nancy Stewart.

Your generous participation in this event helps us take some much-needed supplies to El Hogar Home and School for children in Honduras, and helps the school to cover the costs of our food while we stay there.

Thank You!

On behalf of us all, I extend a sincere thank you to everyone who made last Sunday’s Service of Lessons and Carols such a huge success – to the readers, the instrumentalists, the singers – but especially to Sharon Beckstead, Music Director. This is a huge undertaking, which Sharon carries off with efficiency and aplomb.

Also a huge “Thank You” to everyone who donated approximately $2500 for the Out of the Cold program!

Thank you!

Rev. Warren McDougall
