Just a note to remind our congregation and those who follow us on Facebook and our website that we do collect food for our local Food Bank at the Salvation Army and for the Morningstar Mission. We know that both of these awesome groups assist many in our community who have come to depend on them to get the necessities of life to continue their lives. As you proceed into our Grace church at 150 Robert St you will notice boxes ready to receive any and all of your donations of canned goods and other foods that will be taken to the Mission or the Salvation Army for distribution to the community and give hope to those in need.
The UCW is collecting pop can tabs for the Army/Navy Club, Veterans medical devices, used stamps for the Canadian Leprosy Foundation, eye glasses for the Lions Club project for counties where eye care is limited, and used/dried-up markers of all kinds to be recycled by Crayola. Containers for these items have been placed in the Narthex (at the front entrance). Thank you for helping to collecy and save these items.

Congregational Prayer
Our congregation has been asked to say the following prayer as we move forward in our church.
O God, hear our prayers for Grace United Church. We pray for your guidance as we move into an uncertain future. Relieve our worries as we take comfort in the knowledge that although we cannot see the future, the future is in your hands.
May the Holy Spirit of truth and beauty guide all our decisions. May we be faithful in discipleship, as you are faithful in shepherding us.
May we be bold to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ far and wide, without apology, and without compromise.
May we be aware of the needs o our neighbours, and be quick to respond.
May our hospitality towards guests be genuine and generous.
May our giving of ourselves and our gifts be joyful, consistent and sacrificial.
May we pray without ceasing. And may we daily grow in love and holiness.
These things we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior. Amen.
