Monthly Hope Centre Lunches

Each month volunteers from our church prepare and serve a hearty lunch to about 50 adults and children in need here in Welland. The food for this meal is donated by members of our church. To access the Hope Centre's website, click here.

Davy Bear Ministry

Davy Bears are given to children who are in need of  comfort and prayers for reasons such as illness, the loss of a loved one, or in times of stress--to name just a few. In this way, we can share the love of God.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Prayer shawls are given to people to bring them comfort. They might be in need of this comfort for a number reasons. For example, someone might be undergoing a medical procedure, experiencing loss or stress, in need of prayer, or going through a period of illness and/or recovery. Prayer shawls are also a heartwarming gift at marriage ceremonies or when a baby is born. In all these instances the love of God surrounds each person so they know how deeply cared for they are.

Weekly Food & Household Products Collection

February: Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund

Money we donate to this fund is used to assist people who have suffered from such disasters as earthquakes, hurricanes, drought and war in underdeveloped and developing countries. Our donations also fund programs to help people from these countries become more self-sufficient.

Although donations to this fund are made on an ongoing basis and updates on the work done through this agency are published monthly in The Journal, our national church newspaper, on a Sunday during this month we also stress what is being accomplished through our donations.

February: Hygiene Sunday

Donations are collected for the Hygiene Bank at Holy Trinity, Welland.

March: Sleeping Children Around the World

Donations to this organization are used to provide bed kits to children of underdeveloped and developing countries. One complete bed kit costs $35 and provides a child with a mat or mattress, pillow, sheet, blanket, mosquito net (when required), a clothing outfit, and school supplies. Since this agency was founded in 1970, bed kits have been distributed to children in 33 countries.
