In light of recent flood events, here are some ways we can love our neighbour: Pray for wisdom in how to respond. Pray for the needs of the displaced and front line workers; Give food and other items needed to Archway FoodBank in Abbotsford (find out more at archway.ca); Donate funds to the Abbotsford Disaster Relief Fund or verified GoFundMe’s or established local charities helping out; Join the “FV Flood Help” Facebook Group to see immediate and local needs as they are posted (please use extra discretion when connecting with people you don’t know); Watch the news each day to be updated on events and how to help (as needs change each day/week); and Don’t hoard! We’ve also reached out to our sister church in Princeton, BC to see how we can help them and those they serve. [...]

We are asking local residents and businesses to make a gingerbread house of a Mission building or landmark and enter it into a contest and open house hosted in our building. All the entries will be staged to make up a gingerbread version of our city. The public is welcome to come and see (December 16-19th; 6:00-9:00pm). Covid safety protocols will be followed (i.e. vaxx passports). Admission will be by donation (all proceeds will go to the Mission Christmas Bureau). Application entries are due December 5th (find registration link at https://pc.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/1069446) and the house must be delivered to us by December 12th. If you have any questions, please contact event administrator, Renee Pringle (renee@parksidechurch.ca or 604-820-0718).
