You meet us where we work and live,
Inviting us to put You first.

The standards of an anxious world,
That through our faith may be unfurled
A witness to your steadfast love.

MINUTE FOR MISSION

Adventure Camp Our gifts for Mission &
Service provide opportunities for children to explore how they can change the
world one step at a time. High Country United Church in
Mono, Ontario, became a place of fun and laughter when it hosted the GO
Project Adventure Camp for children in Grades 2 to 7. Children explored their
faith and justice through unique service projects. One program involved
shopping at a local grocery store and then delivering the food and diapers to
the Orangeville Food Bank. Participants’ eyes were opened to what it means to
need a food bank in their community. This program is presented as a
day camp experience with trained camp staff facilitating. It offers fun camp
experiences, such as games, songs, crafts, small groups, delicious food, and
a fun time in a safe, intentional community. It is a great way to engage the
children of your congregation in what it means to be called to love our neighbours. Thank you for your gifts for
Mission & Service that provide opportunities for children to explore
faith in a fun and safe environment. If Mission & Service giving is already
a regular part of your life, thank you so much! If you have not given, please
join me in making Mission & Service giving a regular part of your life of
faith. Loving our neighbour is at the heart of our
Mission & Service. |
