Our U.C.W. group continues to meet monthly at noon for lunch followed by the meeting. We made monetary gifts to the Tatamagouche Centre and to the Inverness County Refugee Fund. We received $180.00 from our Sobey’s slips in October. Thanks to all those who support this project by bringing in their receipts and Margaret Ashford for tabulating and submitting them.
Our members gave gifts to the Sunday School teachers in recognition of their contributions to the children in the congregation at the closing on June 4th. A Bible was presented to Joshua Clayton Hatcher on June 18th at the time of his baptism.
An Angel Tree will once again be set up in the church entry on November 26. Members of the congregation are asked to help facilitate the collection of food and gifts for the Christmas boxes so can provide to needy families in our community.
A Homemade Pie Sale will be held on November 29th at the Port Hawkesbury Centre starting at 10 am. Our group will organize lunch to follow the White Gift Service on December 3rd.
