Donations Appreciated

Free Methodist International Childcare Ministries:

Our denomination sponsors needy children in almost all of the 82 countries where we have a mission established. If you are having a difficult time getting a gift for someone who "has everything," why not honour that person by sponsoring a child, or give a donation towards literacy in India, the food programs in Burundi or Haiti, or helping the Philippine street children of Davao, Philippines? These funds help a child who would otherwise have a very much more difficult life.  The tax receipts can also be put in the person's name you are honouring, or you can claim them yourself at the time of donating. Please contact iccm@fmc-canada.org or www.childcareministries.net for more information.

Aluminium Can Tabs

Please save your aluminium can tabs for Mrs. Bert Parke.  She gives them to a company which in turn, gets wheelchairs with the proceeds from them.

 

Aluminium Cans

If you have empty aluminium cans, please empty, bag and give to the ReStore for Habitat for Humanity. The cans are used to help fund their builds.

 

Christian Salvage Mission

If you have good, gently used, Christian literature (hymnals, magazines, Sunday school papers, books, Bibles, etc.), please give them to Mr. Gary Dennis, Bracebridge.  He gives them to someone else for use in other Christian organizations.

 

Stained Glass Windows:

Some people have expressed interest in donating stained glass windows in memory of someone or a family.  The Official Board and this Society have decided on the following guidelines:

(a) all such windows are to go in the triangle-shaped tops of the current windows, on the inside of the glass now there (there are 10 such areas)

(b) design and colours must reflect the purpose of the building

(c) a coloured drawing must be submitted to the Official Board for approval before work is done, and

(d) these windows must be installed in such a way to continue the symmetry of the building's decor.

(Note:  Our first stained glass window has been installed, and it is beautiful.)
