the Midweek Meal got off to a great start on Wednesday night. Thanks to the big crowd who came out. We filled almost every seat! If you missed out, don’t worry! You’ll be able to register for the second semester later this fall.
Thank you to everyone who came out to help at yesterday’s Facility Work Bee! It’s great to see people using their gifts to help the church.

BRANCHING OUT

Operation Christmas Child is coming soon! Boxes will be available on November 3 and must be returned by November 17. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in the life of a child.

Our Warming Centre will be up and running on Thursday, November 7, providing a place for those in need of warmth and company to enjoy a hot bowl of soup and friendly conversation.

Also needed are donations of bars of soap and small bottles of shampoo. If you’d like to volunteer for this great ministry opportunity, whether it’s to hang out with our guests, to serve or clean up, or to make soup, please connect with Marcia Burt.

Hanover Heights is looking for donations of small hats, socks, and gloves/mittens that can be distributed to children who don’t have the necessary means to stay warm. These items can be dropped off at the pantry cupboard in the foyer.
