 Christmas Giving….many ways to give this Season….                  

 

Glamorgan Care Centre - For many years this has been on our radar. Melody, the wonderful Recreation Director says our Gift Cards give all year long. Petro Canada or Tim Hortons cards for $10.00 are given to residents who can go out on their own, (note the 7/11 gift machine on 37th Street does not work). Larger dollar amount cards from Tim Hortons and Walmart are greatly appreciated. Melody uses these cards to make special purchases throughout the year.  Many of the residents are former street people. A marked box will be in the office for card donations. Please label the dollar amount on the card.

 

Please note this is the last Sunday to donate to the Giving Tree - all donations will be delivered next week - thank you to everyone for your generosity.

The Mitten/Giving Tree is up in the Narthex. This year we have placed wish cards on the tree for you to choose. The cards will have what is needed - for example: men’s socks, mitts, underwear, etc. Pick a card  - or two - off the tree and drop the donation back under the tree during the Advent Season. Any donations for children will go to the Children’s Cottage and the adult donations will go to Central United Church for their distribution to the many homeless people they serve in their parish. So pick your card(s) off the tree and let’s fill all the wishes.

Good, gently used clothing is also welcomed for the Central United Church project. Just place items you wish to donate under the tree.

Planters and plants

Right now, the grey planters are without plants. We are working out good places to put them so they get watered by the sprinkler system. And when we have that solved, we will need some flowers to put in them. You may want to 'adopt a planter' for this summer and donate a 12-inch hanging basket to help with this. We would get those plants into the planters and it would go a long way towards the churchyard looking a bit more colourful this summer. After that, your only obligation is to admire the planters - and maybe deadhead on your way by if you feel like it

If you would like to donate a basket, please let me know: Judy Klassen through the office at 403.242.5760
