FALL STUDY: WRITINGS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
Did you know that besides the gospels and the letters of Paul, there are a number of other writings in the New Testament? Some are letters and some are writings of wisdom, warning and counsel. All have to do with how to live as persons and within communities in precarious, threatening and uncertain times.
Join us for an 8-week study and discussion series on the writings of the New Testament: specifically: James, Peter, John and Jude, beginning Wednesday, September 24, 7:30pm. This will be a hybrid gathering (in-person and online). Notes to guide your reading and reflection will be provided ahead of each session.

Exercise & Falls Prevention Online!
We are pleased to inform you that Circle of Care is now offering their exercise classes online through ZOOM! Circle of Care provides free exercise and falls prevention classes to older adults living in the community. The Falls Prevention program is led by an Occupational Therapist, and the Group Exercise Classes are led by trained fitness professionals. Classes are designed to help participants increase mobility, relieve pain and reduce the risk of falls by building strength and improving balance. Classes are funded by the Central Local Health Integration Network (CLIN), and are offered to eligible participants free of charge.
The classes have received RAVE reviews from our Armour Heights Community and run daily at 10:30AM, Monday to Friday! Each class offers a variety of options to challenge participants of all fitness levels. To view the full schedule and register for classes, click the button below.

Milk Bags Into Mats & Egg Cartons for the Food Bank!
We have just received an update from Gillian MacCausland that in 2023 we have collected 592! Each mat for an adult takes 500-700 bags. CLICK HERE or the button below to learn more about the program. If any youth or other participants might be interested in getting involved by sorting or counting bags, let us know!
We also collected 459 egg cartons in 2023! Visits to the food bank that we are sending the egg cartons to have gone from 4,000 families each month at the first part of the year, to 7,500 this summer. We also continue to collect bread tags. Thank you for keeping the food bank in good supply! Keep it up!
If you are also able to supply diapers, baby formula, feminine hygiene products, general personal care items (soaps, toothpastes, shampoos etc.) or any items that can take a chunk out of a limited budget, they would be gratefully received as the cost for these items continues to rise. If you have any questions, speak to Erin or Gillian.
Many thanks again to Gillian MacCausland for piloting this project that serves our community and our planet!
