CHURCH BBQ LUNCH JUNE 29 Join us! There will be coffee time after church. You may want to bring food that requires little attention such as Veggies, fruit and salads. There are outlets for crockpots if you wish to bring a hot meal. Food concerns? We ask that no dishes have nuts. Also please consider items with no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, no corn. There will be a separate table for gf foods. Listing the ingredients in your dish would be appreciated. We want to ensure we can share with each other. Hope to see you there. Any help with setting up/taking down tables and chairs and cleaning dishes afterwards is greatly appreciated.
HOPE GROWS HERE: From Mother’s Day to Father’s Day Grimsby Life Centre will be running their Hope Grows Here Campaign in hopes of raising $25,000! The funds raised help us to keep our counselling free and available to anyone who needs help. We encourage you to think of a word, message or prayer of encouragement and hope, and write it onto the flower cut out we provide to you. On Father’s Day, we ask that you return the flower cutout and donation card to the church. You can also mail in your donation or give online via credit card or e transfer at www.grimsbylife.org. Cheques should be payable to Grimsby Life Centre. It is our hope that these flowers will be a visible reminder to every person in our waiting room that they are not alone, and that they have Hope! Every flower sent back to us will be displayed on our front window for all to see. As our clients put in the work to change their lives and situations, they can see that a group of people they might not even know is supporting them. We see hope taking root and growing daily at the centre, and we are so thankful for how God reaches the hearts of those who seek him!
