Please join us in blessing the beautiful work of our Knitting for Shivering Children Group on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 14. The knitted vests, blankets, hats and toys will be on display in the church for 2 weeks, before being donated to the charity Canadian Food for Children.
The worship service will be led by minister Rev. Greg Daly and our music director Steven Webb and starts at 10:30 am at 140 Wineva Avenue.
You may also join us via YouTube livestream.
The impetus for this dialogue is that these issues matter to us all.
Engaging in the arts changes the course of your life and your brain. Beginning from childhood, the arts foster mental development, sculpt brain maturation, and lessen the effects of poverty and social disadvantage. As we age, art provides a buffer against cognitive decline, allowing us to maintain an island of humanity in the face of a sea of mental, physical and brain loss.
Join us for this free event with music, dialogue & workshops hosted by Dr. Luis Fornazzari MD, FRCPC, Behavioural Neurology, University of Toronto.
Our Annual General Meeting will take place on Sunday, April 2nd.
The meeting will take place after the church service on Palm Sunday. We are planning a jazz gospel service for that day, and are hopeful for a good turnout. The meeting will have both in person and Zoom connectivity elements. We will have more information posted here.
