Breakfast program
Isn’t it great to have some sunshine to lift our spirits and remind us that spring will eventually
follow this tough winter? We look forward to hosting another community breakfast this coming
Saturday and pray that the weather stays warm and dry for their travels.
Your breakfast team will prepare 145 meals on Friday and your financial help is most appreciated
so that we can buy quality, nutritious food. Donations of gently used clothing, household items
like dishes, sheets and blankets are picked up quickly. Many, many thanks for your prayers and
kindness as we strive to care for our neighbours as ourselves. Please come and join us for coffee
this Saturday March 15th between 9 and 10:30 am. You are always welcome!
