WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOOD CUPBOARD
Thank you to everyone who has given so generously to our food cupboard this season and throughout the year. Your kindness brings comfort, dignity, and hope to many in our community. As we celebrate the holidays, we are mindful that hunger does not take a holiday. Your continued support helps ensure that no neighbour is forgotten.
This year, the need in our community has reached levels we have never seen before. Single parents, seniors living alone, newcomers, and individuals who never expected to ask for help are suddenly facing hunger.
There is an urgent need for shelf-stable milk.
There is a basket at the back of the church. Thank you!
PRAYER REQUESTS
Each month we refresh the prayer requests. Please email the office should you wish to add or renew someone on the prayer list. We bring our prayers to God, whether for ourselves or for others, knowing that God responds to our request. We ask that you seek permission from the person you wish us to pray for before submitting the name. Only first names will be read out during the service to help preserve privacy.

YEAR END GIFTS
As we near the end of 2025, we invite you to make a gift beyond your regular pledge to have a strong financial beginning in 2026.
