February Focus on Saint Columba House
Throughout the month of February, Cedar Park United Church will be focusing on one of its Montreal city missions, Saint Columba House.
There are at least two ways in which YOU can help:
- by bringing boxes of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to the church on Sunday morning, or during the week.
- by contacting Saint Columba House to see how you might share of your time and talent with those who need it most.
We thank you!
Dr. Seuss Night at F4 Delights One and All
An evening of fun and smiles was enjoyed on Friday night, February 3, 2012, when upwards of 45 people attended the monthly F4 event (Food, Fun and a Film with your Family). Moms, dads, grandparents and children enjoyed a homemade meal of macaroni and cheese with applesauce and cookies for dessert. At 6:45, the Dr. Seuss entertainment began, with the showing of the short films Horton Hears a Who and Daisy-Head Maizy and popcorn for all.
The next F4 will be on March 2 with a menu of breakfast for supper and a showing of The Land Before Time. Don’t miss it!
“Beyond Broadway” Voices for Hope Concerts Raise $6,000 for NOVA
Douglas Knight and the community choir of 70 singers presented “Beyond Broadway” at Cedar Park United on Friday and Saturday, January 20 and 21. At least 400 people attended the two concerts, and the response was incredibly positive. Wondering what was sung? Have a look at the Voices for Hope song list.
The proceeds of over $6,000 will go to assist NOVA West Island.
A not-for-profit, volunteer-driven, community-based healthcare organization with a century-old history of providing comprehensive, compassionate, quality care to vulnerable individuals in the community, NOVA West Island’s primary mandate is to provide specialized care and support in the home to cancer and ALS clients during the course of the illness and particularly in the palliative stage.
January Focus on Montreal Diet Dispensary Yields Incredible Results
Throughout the month of January, the Cedar Park United community showed incredible generosity towards our Montreal city mission, the Montreal Diet Dispensary. In total, 123 bars of Dove soap, 37 packages of infant cereal, 50 new t shirts and sleepers, some cash and 4 bags full of gently used baby clothes were donated. This overwhelming response is already making a difference in the lives of the mothers and babies that this mission supports.
The Montreal Diet Dispensary assists 2,000 women each year with prenatal and postnatal nutrition and moral support. Their motto is: Every baby deserves a healthy start. A huge thank you for your support!
