For our Advent season, St Paul’s is collecting donations towards eight to ten Christmas Hampers for families at Grovenor Elementary School and Little Angels Daycare. These Hampers will include a variety of groceries, as well as all the items needed for Christmas dinner. As the costs of groceries have risen substantially this year, these hampers will be particularly important. There is a list of supplies needed on our website and also in the side foyer. If you can help with shopping or sorting supplies into deliveries, please let Michelle know.
Financial donations are also accepted. Thank you!
Christmas lights are up around town! Candy Cane Lane (on 148 St from 92nd to 99th avenue) officially opens December 8, and will be open for vehicles and pedestrian traffic until New Year’s Day. This year they are hosting three “no vehicle” evenings on December 9, 16 and 23, open to pedestrian traffic only. Please remember a food bank donation! www.yegcandycanelane.com
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped with our third Community Dinner! Our pilot project for the fall taught us a lot about running this event, and we have extended our pilot until March 2024. These dinners will provide a warm and nutritious meal to our guests, as we invite neighbours of St Paul’s Anglican church for a free meal. Our next Community Dinner is set for Saturday, January 27 (no dinner in December). For more information, please
talk to Rev. Myron or Michelle S. at michelle@stpauls-anglican.ca
