Warm Feet for the Street
Warm Feet for the Street where we help others who are doing without, is a program supported by the congregation. We assemble Warm Winter Wear Packs for the most vulnerable men and women, to be distributed on Tuesday mornings from Nov. through Feb. but we can’t do it alone. Please make a donation to this program by etransfer (envelopesecretary@chalmersunitedchurch.com) or by designating your donation in church or by mailing in a cheque. The packs will be filled with a pair of warm socks, gloves, a toque, a treat or two and hopefully a gift card.

Did you Know?
Did you Know? This Sunday’s advent reader is Jane MacEwen. She is a member of the Inreach Circle which is concerned with supporting ideas that help the Chalmers congregation to be connected. For example, they recently created the Gentle Walking Group that has spent the last few months exploring beautiful corners of Kingston. Another idea is the upcoming potluck Christmas dinner on December 23rd. Please join the next circle to help connect to your congregation.
