DOLL MAKERS BECOME QUILTERS

The doll makers of Epiphany are now making small quilts for the hospital's Neonatal unit. These quilts are from our excess material during the doll making for hospitalized children. They will help families of stillborn children as well as others with loss or distress.

STUFF ME PLEASE!

We have organized ourselves on a mission of sewing. Under the direction of our Deacon Jane, we are organized to sew and stuff dolls for hospitalized children. The dolls are given to help explain procedures and provide comfort. This is very fulfilling and will be ongoing for the parish. The hospital requires 60 dolls a month!

GOOD FELLOWS CHRISTMAS BASKETS AS WELL AS OUR LOCAL FOODBANK REQUIRE PEANUT BUTTER.

The parish has responded by filling each window with 12 -1 KG jars of peanut butter....we brought in 189 jars this year! A record!!
We have also again supported Operation Christmas Child were each box issued or shoebox returned with Christmas items for children are collected. Plenty of hard candy, brushes, hats, scarves and toys are stuffed into these overflowing gifts of love. Thank you everyone again for your support of this outreach.

DIANA has donated a variety of canned goods to offset the cost of new fatigue matts in the Parish Hall Kitchen. Hurry the chili in particular goes fast

SOAP ANYONE?

We again collected 'hotel' toiletries for local women's shelters. and Canterbury College...we beat the 3 box loads of last year with 5 boxes this year! Thanks everyone!
 Note we have a drive on to collect SOAPS for shelters and stamps in boxes at the back of the church!

There are many other ministries to give thanks for: We continuously supply our local food bank, collect bread tabs for the blind, stamps for the Bible Society and pop tops for wheelchairs.

It may seem like a small donation but together we are a big help! Keep it up Epiphany! Let's break last year's records and help many more!

• LOONIES FOR THE LORD SUNDAY  is also known as HURON HUNGER FUND Sunday (PWRDF). On the first Sunday in May we line up collected "loonies" from the altar to the back of the church. THIS YEAR  we raised almost $800 with loonies and Egg McMuffin Sales.

• Save your stamps, for the Canadian Bible Society. There is a .ox at the back of the church for them and thank you.

• MEALS ON WHEELS - our parish takes on the responsibility of delivering meals to the community 2 months of the year.

We Can use more volunteers to mail out our prayer cards. We meet at 9:30 am on the second Sunday of each month to update on our outreach ministry to shutins. Please see Jane or Bryan if you can help.

We make fruit pie at festival time with local ingredients and the rest of the year we make meat pies. This group is a major donor to Epiphany development projects as well as other projects locally.

• Worship to the Community - Epiphany offers Wednesday Eucharist's to Southgate, Royal Oak and Kingsville Court residents in this community. Keep your eye on the events calendar for dates.
