The Mission Group:

“Buy and Supply” initiative is drawing to a close for this season, and will resume towards the end of the year. The weather in mid – April will dictate the actual finishing date.  The money collected on this final round will go to Family Works for their “Grandparents Raising Grandchildren” programme.  We raised $234.60 in February, and this money will be forwarded to Family Support (formerly Birthright) for camp fees, school supplies, course fees etc.  Your support is vital for these Mission Outreach programmes, so please  remember to BUY or SUPPLY or BOTH.

Winter Project — We are looking for wool for our Winter Project.  Any ply, any colour, would be gladly accepted and can be left at either church.
