COULD THIS BE YOUR MINISTRY?
Our parish is looking for a Safe Church Coordinator—someone to help us continue creating a safe and caring space for all. The role involves coordinating background checks, sharing Safe Church information, and supporting our parish in following best practices. If this speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you!
COMEDY NIGHT FUNDRAISER - SUPPORTING FOOD INSECURITY IN OUR COMMUNITY
Get ready for an evening of laughter for a great cause! Espace Bellevue, our new garden coordinators, will be hosting a Comedy Night in our church hall, with all proceeds supporting three organizations working to address food insecurity in the West Island.
Funds raised will go to:
St. George's Church – our food cupboard and community suppers are more than well known to you
Corbeille de Pain – Their Solidarity Markets improve access to nutritious food for people in vulnerable situations while supporting the local economy by sourcing from farmers at fair prices. Their “pay-what-you-can” model lets participants contribute based on their financial reality.
Espace Bellevue – an organization that will offers a “pay-what-you-can” hot meal program at the Solidarity Markets. This program transforms unsold market produce into nutritious meals in the commercial kitchen at St. George’s Church, while providing training and employment opportunities for refugee women.
Our approach is unique in that it not only offers relevant work experience, but also addresses the specific challenges these women face, such as language barriers and a lack of local work experience. Our culturally sensitive and inclusive environment ensures that every trainee feels valued and supported.
📅 Date: Saturday May 2
🕖 Time: 7:00 pm, doors open at 6:00 pm
📍 Location: Our lower hall
🎟 Tickets: $25.00, Eventbrite Ticket Sales
All are welcome—bring a friend and enjoy a fun night out while supporting vital work in our community.
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.
FUNDSCRIP
It costs you nothing extra: you receive the full value of the card, and the church receives a small rebate from the retailer.
If you’d like to support this easy ongoing fundraiser, visit www.fundscrip.com and use our invitation code J6HC44 to get started.
They make great gifts all year long and they’re also perfect for everyday groceries and gas.
