coming events

For many years, Armour Heights has provided a special turkey dinner for the residents of Evangel Hall. We plan to offer this delicious meal and meaningful time of gathering and sharing once again this Christmas season.

We need volunteers to help with buying or preparing food, baking goodies, and serving the meal at Evangel Hall. Food can be dropped off to the church by 2:00pm on December 4, or earlier, if they are baked goods that can be frozen or refrigerated. Volunteers who will serve the meal should arrive at EHM between 4:30pm and 5:00pm. Dinner will be served to the residents at 6pm.

If you are interested in helping out in any way, please sign up on the list posted in Scott Duncan Hall, or speak to/contact Rev. Rebecca. 

"Calling all Angels!" It is a tradition at Armour Heights to share a little Christmas joy with those less fortunate. If you are interested in participating in our Christmas Angels program, this year's Christmas Angels program will once again support the North York Women's Shelter. North York Women's Shelter helps women, non-binary, and trans folks in times of crisis and aids them in fleeing violent situations. 60% of the shelter's residents are children.  

With your help, we hope to contribute to the shelter this Christmas in three ways: 1) by providing gift cards so clients at the shelter can buy gifts for their loved ones, 2) financial support for education and counselling programs, and 3) stuffies to enjoy on Christmas morning.  

Popular gift cards include: Amazon, Old Navy, Walmart, Dollarama, and "The PC Gift of Choice Card" from Loblaws. Cash and cheque donations can be made through your offering envelope, or you can make donations online via etransfer to etransfer@armourheights.org, or through CanadaHelps.org and selecting "Christmas Angels" in the Fund drop-down list. Please be sure to include the memo "Christmas Angels." 

We also encourage folks to consider donating new, unwrapped stuffies. These can be dropped off on Sunday mornings or dropped off at the office.

Please be an angel and contribute before December 14. If you have any further questions, please speak to Susan Murray, Sharon Fischer, Nancy Taylor, or Erin Stone at estone@armourheights.org.

Join us Friday, Deember 12 at 7:30pm in person or online for a festive concert featruing Music Director, Bruce Nasmith and the Armour Heights Church Choir! Admission is by donation, and the reception following the concert is sponsored by Don Mills Retirement Residence. Come and enjoy some Christmas cheer and the best music of the season!

 All youth in grades 7-12 are invited to join Kim and Rev. Rebecca for December's youth gathering. We will helping to host the Choir Christmas Concert by greeting, serving tea and coffee, and helping to tidy up afterwards.

The youth will still gather at 7pm, and the concert will begin at 7:30pm. Though we expect the concert to be about an hour, there is a reception following and we expect we may be a bit later than our usual 9pm with clean up. Youth in high school can receive Community Service hours for their help.

Parents are encouraged to stay for the concert.

Our annual Christmas Pageant is back again this year! Join us during our usual worship time on Sunday, December 21 as our children, youth and adutls, retell Hisako Aoki's book "Santa's Favourite Story". 

Everyone is invited— kids, families, and anyone who loves the joy and wonder of Christmas. This interactive service is designed to be engaging for all ages, with familiar and well-loved Christmas hymns, a simple retelling of the Christmas story, and moments where children can participate and help bring the story to life. Come as you are, bring your excitement, and start Christmas Eve with a celebration full of music, light, and hope.
