Minister’s Moving Fund

You will find an envelope included in this week’s bulletin, giving you an opportunity to offset the moving expenses for Rev Jon and Cathy Van Den Berg, from Fingal, Ontario to our Beautiful City.
It is anticipated that the moving costs will amount to approximately $8,000.00, with the distance between these two locations being 1600 kilometres. This expense was not included in the Annual Budget, as it could not be projected in February exactly when the vacancy would be filled.
You will see a large map below and at the back of the Church, highlighting the route between the two communities, and indicating how many kilometres are already covered. Each kilometre will cost $5.00, and as of September 13 we have $3,425 in the Moving Fund, enough for our virtual moving van to travel 685 km to Coteau-du-Lac, QC (across the bridge from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, about half way between the Ontario border and Montreal).
A Committee has been struck to undertake this endeavour, chaired by Stephen MacKay.

Church School has started! If you would like to be a part of our team as a storyteller or doorkeeper, please talk to Jordan or Terri.
