On September 15/16, there will be a special collection taken up for Africa, which continues to suffer through the worst drought in 60 years. Donations will be forwarded to the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), which has an organization in place that will ensure that your donations will get to those in need. The Government of Canada has pledged to match all monies raised through this collection. Special envelopes for this collection are available at the entrance of the church.
