MISSION MOMENT
After participating in the New Beginnings program that guides congregations through a renewal process to discern God’s call for their future, St. James (North Yarmouth, ON) began a ministry to help address the social isolation of seniors and older adults, both within the congregation and the surrounding community. St. James adapted its service to become an interactive, conference-call worship model that allows people at home or in care facilities to participate more fully through prayer, reading scripture or singing. Community programming for seniors is also centred around encouraging greater social inclusion, through delivering hot meals and care packages, a weekly home visit program with the minister and elders, and even chartering a bus to sing carols and bring Christmas cheer to doorsteps during Advent. St. James receives support from Presbyterians Sharing.
The Clyde River Sunday school cannot thank you enough for your donations of baked goods and stopping at our sale after the service last Sunday . We are excited to announce another successful fundraiser for the Melissa Lank school as we raised approximately $ 580.00!! Thank you everyone for your continued support.
