Here is what the volunteer person(s) need to do: Fill a bag with one of each of the items, plus cards from our congregation. One bag for each veteran who is celebrating a birthday that particular month. Drop the bags off at the Orangeville Manor. That’s it. If you want to show some appreciation for veterans, this opportunity doesn’t require a lot of time. Please see Ellen Withrow or any Missions team member.

Our Vision – “Shining Christ’s Light with Worship, Missions, Education, Connections”
Ponder this: In chapter 6 [of Romans], we learned the doctrinal truth that we have died to sin. Its power over us is broken. But then we find ourselves failing miserably in day to day living, and we wonder why. SIN IS NOT DEAD – we have died to it. – Darvin Byler, missionary to Kenya, teaching on Romans

Ponder this: A wise sailor doesn't deny the existence of storms; he learns how to navigate them. In the same way, our faith is not about preventing storms but about anchoring ourselves to the One who can calm them. – Joe Pettigrew, Morning With Jesus
