🎄Outreach Suggestions for Christmas Giving – 2025🎁
1. Trinity’s traditional mitten tree – Donations of mittens and hats are welcomed at our tree in the narthex. The schools tell us that there is more need for mittens!
2. Family Hampers – This year, we will be providing hampers for 2 needy families in our area. This will include food, household items and gifts. Please sign up at our table in the narthex on November 23, 30 or Dec. 6 . Donations must be in by December 14.
3. Giftswithvision.ca – The United Church catalogue has many good ideas for global gifts that can be purchased online. For example, a $50 food basket will be matched for$400 value. $100 will be matched for $900 value for girl power through nourishment, education and protection for girls around the world.
Thank you for considering these ideas as we plan our Christmas giving. 🎁

From Jo-Anne – Hello, It breaks my heart to have to write this letter, but I have no other choice. Milt and I have to move because of health issues and our cat cannot come with us as pets are only allowed visits. Quirk is a 12 year old spayed female indoor cat, she is healthy and up to date on her shots, friendly and cuddly once she gets to know you. She is best in one cat home. I can be contacted at 204-269-3729, or at jmuldrew@mymts.net (best early in the morning or after 3PM), or I am at the hospital visiting Milt. Thanks very much, Jo-Anne Muldrew.
In our Prayers:
We pray for those facing health challenges:
We pray for Milt Muldrew who is dealing with health issues.
We pray for Victor Bryll who is in hospital dealing with health issues.
We pray for Bernice Gregory who is dealing with health issues.
We pray for Connie Fillion who is in hospital dealing with health issues.
We continue to pray for Damber’s family – Sumi as she continues her recovery, for Sumi’s three nieces Ameera, Anupaa, and Anuka, and for Damber’s mother, Dhan, as she faces health issues. Damber and Sumi are grateful for your prayers and support.
