Bracebridge’s Out of the Cold program offers hot meals, produce, and toiletries on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This ministry is based out of Bracebridge United Church but is run by volunteers from several churches and community groups. Volunteers assist in the kitchen with meal preparation or help with set up/serving/clean up. Please see Rev. Heather if you’d like to help out.
Volunteers Needed. We are looking for a few volunteers to assist with the Nursery Program and the Easy Worship (training provided) on Sunday’s. If wishing to share the gift of time to either of the programs, speak with either Rev. Heather or Jody in the office.
Envelopes The Board and Session made the decision to reduce the number of Box Envelopes purchased for the 2024 year. Congregation members who had a number greater than 50 will notice a new #. Congregation members who use the PAR Program or contribute by e transfer may not have been assigned a Envelope number but are welcome to use one of the visitor envelope if you wish to contribute to a fund raiser, just remember to include your name on the visitor envelope. If you have OLD ENVELOPES hanging around, please-please-please, throw them out, your number may not be valid any longer.
