Tree of Hope

LAST WEEK FOR DONATIONS!

Did you know….? The “Tree of Hope” not only gives a child a gift or special memory at Christmas, it brings new life to families, the whole year through!

Your donation to the “Tree of Hope” also supports: Access to Emergency Funds, Access to an Education Bursary Fund, Tutoring Programs, Summer Camps, and Access to Must Have Items: clothing, bedding, cribs, sport equipment etc.

Again this year we are asking for monetary donations. Family and Children’s Services will use your donations to purchase gift cards so recipients across the region can shop independently. They will also apply your donations to the many other opportunities for children listed above.

If you are interested in supporting the “Tree of Hope” campaign please provide either a cash or cheque donation. Cheques should be made out to St. Mark’s and clearly state “Tree of Hope” in the memo line.

Donations can also be made online through the Button below. Please select Mission & Outreach on the pull down menu and include "Tree of Hope" on the memo line.

Let’s give these children and families a Christmas they will remember and a future they deserve!

Thank you for your support!!

Heather & Alison

Longest Night Service

Sunday, December 15

Plan to join us on Sunday, December 15 at 7:00 p.m. for our Longest Night Service. A time and space for quiet music, prayer and reflection.

This gathering is for any who find the holiday season challenging:

for those who carry pain and loss juxtaposed with celebration;
for those who are unsettled by bright lights, loud music, and over-activity;
for those who are exhausted by the festive and often hectic atmosphere;
for those who find a compelled busyness has overshadowed a holy season
or overwhelmed any simple joy it might bring.

For further information, please contact Rev. Sandra: sandrahounselldrover@gmail.com or 613-546-3386
