Another way to give...

Loyalty Funding is another way to give that does not take money out of your pocket.  Loyalty Funding provides the opportunity to purchase gift cards for stores you use regularly - like the grocery store, gas station and drug store.  When you purchase cards, a percentage of each card is donated to the Church. 

The first $1000 raised supports our work with FOTOCAN and the Orphanage work they do in Latin and Central America.  After that, the funds raised will be contributed to our General Fund to support the ongoing ministry of the congregation.  Follow the link to learn more.  The more members of the congregation who participate, the more money we raise!

The Welcome Project

Picture
Welcome Project Part II is underway!

Ward is here!

Arriving in Toronto on September 17th, followed by a strict 14 day quarantine, Ward is now adjusting to life in Canada.

He has been exploring Goderich by bike and foot and having outdoor visits with members of the Welcome Project team.

Although the journey to his arrival was long with many disappointments and struggles along the way, we are so delighted to be welcoming this gentle, kind man.

Ward is busy working on his English through ESL (although it is pretty good already) with the hope of pursuing post secondary education.  He is looking forward to getting a driver's license and exploring more of Ontario (once it is safe to do so).

He is settling in with his hosts, Al and Laura Mullin.  We are grateful Ward is here and look forward to sharing his journey.
​


Peter, Hellen and their family who arrived in February 2016 are settled into life in Stratford, Ontario.  All the adults are working and all the children are now in school!  Peter says he likes the cold, but I'm not sure the teenagers in the family would agree!

We have been deeply blessed by the way our journeys in life and faith have intersected.
