Food4Kids Sunday
We’re thrilled to have Lorri Detta, Executive Director of Food4Kids Waterloo Region, as our guest speaker.
Lorri brings over 20 years of non-profit career, governance, and direct volunteer experience working with many large and grassroots organizations focused on the mental, physical, and social well-being of at-risk children and youth. She is passionate about ensuring that no child goes hungry, especially during the nine weeks of summer break when vulnerable kids face the fear of being without food support.
During the service, Lorri will share her inspiring journey and shed light on how Food4Kids Waterloo Region is helping to feed the hungry children they support.
Remember to bring snack foods or a jar of peanut butter - your contribution will help ensure that these children have access to the nutritious meals they need during the summer break. Donations can be left just outside the chapel door.s
After the service, Lorri will be available in Iona Hall to answer any questions you may have and provide further information about Food4Kids Waterloo Region's mission.
Communion Sunday
Communion holds a special place in our worship, as it serves as a reminder of our commitment to follow Jesus and to love and serve one another. It is a time for us to come together in humility and gratitude, to confess our sins, and to receive God's forgiveness.
Whether you are a regular member of our congregation or a first-time visitor, we welcome you to join us for this important and meaningful service. Together, let us celebrate our faith and our connection to each other as we partake in the bread and wine.
We look forward to having you with us.
Planning Giving Sunday
We don’t have to be millionaires to leave a legacy. A gift of any size, given in faith and entrusted to God, is a seed that grows.
Congregations and ministries across our denomination have seen generosity bring life to vital new programs. People have been blessed.
Congregations have been strengthened. And seeds of hope have been planted for generations to come.
Everyone leaves a legacy.
This Sunday our congregation will reflect on the long-term impact of our gifts of time, talent and treasure. It’s a great time for us to think about how our gifts today and in the future can participate in God’s mission.
