The Love of God Fits Everyone

Food for Life: an unsolicited testimonial from a food recipient

“I just wanted to tell you how much this program means to me.  Things have been very lean and food is often a luxury. A friend told me about the (Food for Life) program at St. Hilda’s Anglican Church. I can count on them every week and they always have  a smile for me. They are so supportive and kind I just had to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Every little bit helps so much. Just so you know that there are a lot of people truly grateful for what you bring to me every Thursday, because it is not just food items – it’s dignity as well.”

September 15th fellowship Lunch

Join s after the Service on Sunday September 15th for a fellowship Lunch We will be meeting at The Dutch Mill Country Market. I am sure the kids will love all the animals and the garden centre will have all the fresh harvest and for those who want to start their Christmas shopping early there is a lot to look at.

Please sign up at church on Sunday so we can reserve enough tables.
