Grovenor Community League is hosting their Fall Fest this coming Saturday, September 17, from 4:00-9:00 pm, and they are looking for help with running the event.

Come out to enjoy the food trucks, music, beer and wine gardens, and activities planned for the evening. All volunteers get a free meal and beverage – it can’t be a success without many hands! Please review the available slots HERE and join Michelle in serving our neighbours. Kaleido Family Arts Festival: Hearts in Living Colour runs Sept 16-18, 2022.

Announcing St Paul’s Kids Crew!With the support of a “Say ‘YES’ to Kids’ Grant from the AFC, we’re excited to announce St Paul’s Kids Crew! This group of elementary school kids (ages 6-12, grades 1-6) will get a weekly opportunity from September 15 to December 15 for activities that enhance their emotional, social, and recreational lives. Kids Crew will meet on Thursdays from 2:30-4:00pm as this is Grovenor Elementary School’s early dismissal day. In addition to meeting weekly, participants get to bring their family members to special, once-a-month, no-cost family meals. This is a great way to get to know other kids and their families, have fun together, and enjoy a nice night out. Please pray for the families in Grovenor who would benefit from this program, and for staff and volunteers for the various aspects of this ministry.
