"High Noon", starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly, winner of four Academy Awards in 1952, was declared by John Wayne as “the most un-American thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life.” Why would Wayne say that even though he accepted the Academy Award for Best Actor on behalf of his good friend, Gary Cooper, who was out of the country making another movie? Come, and find out!
Our Sunday School Christmas Pageant
In November the UCW had Hon. Lieutenant Lee-Anne Quinn speak to us about her work, in the Military, and now since retiring. She told us about her work and passion to keep the Brock Primary Care Clinic open to provide medical care for those who are marginalized in our Community.
We were pleased to give a donation of $1,000.00 to help assist with the Brock Primary Care Clinic.

OUTREACH
What a fantastic congregation we have here at Mark Street United Church! Your generosity with White Gift collection as well as the Mitten Tree has resulted in an amazing contribution to the lives of many people. This week, the items were gathered, counted, and then delivered to the YES Shelter, Brock Mission and Cameron House. Each location was extremely grateful to receive the items. We collected a total of 35 canned and boxed food items in addition to $335.00 in monetary funds. The Mitten Tree final count was 36 mittens, 22 hats, 12 scarfs, 19 pairs of socks, 1 neck warmer & mitten set, and 3 stuffies. Although all items are really appreciated, we were told that hand-made items are cherished by the recipients.
Community Connections
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!
