The people of Fallingbrook are committed to giving and to serving others in the name of Christ.
Our Anniversary Project for this year raised $3945 in support of the Saskatoon Native Circle Ministry (to link to their website click here). This money will go towards the purchase of an air conditioning unit for their building. Saskatoon Native Circle Ministry is supported by Canada Ministries through Presbyterians Sharing.
During the colder weather the "Warm & Fuzzies" line is put up to collect new mittens, hats, scarves, socks, underwear (for men, women & children) for Evangel Hall Mission.
Again this year Fallingbrook will be helping to restock the supply of kits (relief, school, sewing, hygiene) which are distributed by The Mennonite Central Committee. These kits go to disaster areas all around the world throughout the year. Bags and instructions of what to include are available at the start of Advent. Completed kits may be brought in and put under the tree in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
