Community Connections
Outreach Committee Fundraising
The Outreach Committee will be selling tea cosies at coffee hour throughout October. Heather J., a member of Westdale U.C., which is a partner in our Refugee Sponsorship efforts, has donated the cosies. They sell on Etsy for $15 - $25, but you may purchase one from the committee for any donation. All funds raised will be awarded to the Refugee Family Account.
Progressive thinking!
The Outreach Committee invites members of our community of faith and their family, friends, and neighbours to an information session on "Shared Living for Women". This presentation will be held on Monday, November 4th from 1:30 to 2:30pm in Friendship Hall at our church. Pat Dunn, Founder and Director of Senior Women Living Together, will explain the concept and give you suggestions for possible future planning. She will explain how shared living will help you to save money, build community, and respond to any questions or concerns you may have about it. Progressive thinking!!
The Peterborough Lions Club, after years of doing so, continues to ask for donations of your old but not excessively scratched prescription eyeglasses. Now, they also have a gently used shoe collection. These donations can now be made at Mark Street United Church. There will be a box for eyeglasses and a separate large box for shoes on the landing between the two sets of stairs and under the coat rack when going up the staircase on the right in Friendship Hall. Drop your donations into the boxes so that they may be sent to many international locations who have the need.
Thank you for your anticipated involvement.
The Outreach Committee
The worship experience at Mark Street United Church is inspirational and informative. Our Organist and Choir members lead us in music, which sets the stage emotionally and spiritually for a richer experience. Our Minister guides us through a multi-media, thought provoking, scripture based service which helps us understand scripture and makes us understand its' relevance in today's world, as well as our role as Christians in our complex world. Children are engaged in our Children's area, story time with the minister, and then Sunday school with friends for more stories, crafts, games and fun!
