to provide around 90,000 free meals to their seniors.
Blankets for Canada
Many caring hands spend time knitting 8-inch acrylic squares and sewing the squares together in an ongoing,
loving program. These blankets provide warmth for families throughout Canada. Many more loving
hands are welcome. Call the office at 466-0916 if you are interested in helping.

with others in the community. Child care, fun and fellowship are all included.

Grace Church Bridge Club is still very active as we enter our 14th
year. We play each Monday from 1:00-3:00 throughout the year.
Cost is $1/person. Players come from the entire community and
we welcome new players. For more information call the church
office at 466-0916.
Cycling Mommas
Cycling Mommas was started more than 30 years ago as an opportunity for moms to get some
exercise, explore the river valley and get to know their neighbours.
We cycle twice a week in spring and fall, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 – 10:30 am,
followed by time for coffee. We leave from the parking lot at Grace United Church and do most
of our riding on the paved river valley trails. Quality childcare is offered using a
combination of paid help and “helper moms” to keep costs down.

Come and join us for coffee every Tuesday Morning at 10:00. Bring a friend and a smile.
You don't have to be a member of the church, you just have to want a good conversation.
Bible Camp
Every year, Grace offers a wonderful two-day camp for elementary-aged children during
'Teacher's Convention'. The themes of companionship, courage
and creation are explored using the positive themes found in the
"Lord of the Rings" stories. The children enjoy cooperative
games, crafts, baking, snacks, drama and outdoor adventure.
This popular camp is open to any children who wish to come and the
cost is only $40 each. Every year is a blast!
