MITTEN TREE - It’s that time of year.  Our mitten tree is in place and ready to receive any knitted items you would like to contribute. By Christmas, these items will be distributed wherever the need exists.

SUNDAY SCHOOL M&S JAR - Just a reminder from the Sunday School that the M&S coin jar project will be collected in early January.

GREENER VILLAGE COMMUNITY FOOD CENTRE - For the month of December, we will focus on stove top dressing, cranberry sauce or 1 litre apple/orange juice. However, as always, everything is deeply appreciated.           

OUTREACH: The sign up schedules are out for both the Community Kitchen Volunteers and Christ Church Sandwiches; they can be found on the Outreach Committee bulletin board in the foyer by Lorna's Office.  
...
The Community Kitchen is in great need of more volunteers to fill up the schedule for Saturday mornings. NMUC has traditionally sent 4 people on the 4th Saturday of the month. Over the last year we have seen a great decline in volunteers for this service. It is a very rewarding experience and not overly strenuous. If you have never been to the Community Kitchen and are interested in more information please approach someone on the Outreach Committee or someone who is already on the sign up sheet.
...
Food Bank donations are always welcome in the designated bin in the main entrance of the church, and are especially needed at this time of year. Please also note that you can make a monetary donation to the Food Bank through your offering envelope, simply by marking the amount on the envelope that you wish to direct to the Food Bank, or you can designate a portion of your monthly PAR specifically to the Food Bank simply by sending an email to Lloyd Penney. As always the Outreach Committee is very appreciative of all the support we receive from the congregation either through donations or helpful volunteering. Merry Christmas!
 
​"OUR DAILY BREAD" - New copies of "Our Daily Bread" (Dec/Jan/Feb) are now available at both doors of the church.  These copies are provided free of charge; however, a container for those wishing to make a donation to Radio Price Class is available.

BULLETIN DEDICATION - Anyone wishing to sponsor a Sunday bulletin to celebrate a family event, special day, or memorial can do so by contacting the church secretary at 459-3313.  The cost is $20.
