for Mission and Service, and $10,000 for capital for a total of $93,000
in offering revenue. To meet this budget we will need $7,750 per month.
Actual givings for January and February totaled $10,536.
Book Club – Our next meeting is Sunday, March 29’th when we will discuss
Butter, Honey, Pig, Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi. An intergenerational
saga about three Nigerian women, this novel is a story of choices and
their consequences, of motherhood, of the malleable line between the
spirit and the mind, of finding new homes and mending old ones, of
voracious appetites, of queer love, of friendship, faith, and above all,
family. There is a book club set at the public library, and it is
available as an e-book and in audio on Libby and Hoopla. We will meet at
12:15 in Room 215, all are welcome.

Thank you to our volunteers for March:
Mischelle Remigio
Bill and Laurie Gault
Gordon and Patti Bligh
Rhovy, Junior and Rovenjay Sobrepena
We are looking for volunteers for the following:
May 1-15 Independent and Fieldhouse
May 16-31 Coop
May 16-31 Independent and Fieldhouse
As well as the months of June, July and August.
This is an important fundraiser for our church and many hands make light
work.
If you have students that require community service hours, this does
count and we are happy to sign the required paperwork.
If you would like to help but maybe don’t have a vehicle, that’s ok! We
have people with vehicles who could use an extra pair of hands.
If you are able to help, please let Terrilyn know. terrily...@theedge.ca
Mission and Service Story:
Where Play Builds Community:
“I’m going to sleep here!” Amarah, age 6, threatens from under the
table. Along with her sisters, she hides from her family at the Tomken
Grove Afterschool Program’s pickup time. This is a common occurrence
because every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., the children feel that two hours
together is not enough.
Through the passion of Westminster United Church in Mississauga, ON, the
Tomken Grove Afterschool Program aims to encourage community among local
children. The program creates a recreational space outside of school
where neighbourhood kids can spend time together in an electronics-free
environment.
Some form of physical activity is always scheduled: dance battles,
obstacle courses, hula-hooping, spending time outdoors, and more. Snacks
such as fresh fruits and yogurt keep the kids healthy and energized, and
everyone is involved in cleanup responsibilities for snack and outdoor
time, which encourages independence and innovation.
Your gifts through Mission and Service help programs like this as they
encourage community and connection. Thank you.
