A month to go … and off to Malawi

Posted by on Wednesday, March 7th, 2018 in News


In Malawi there is not much hope. There is disease, corruption and famine; no education and misery ride tall among the residents there. But there is a compassionate God that has given us plenty and with this plenty we can share and bring a better way of life to the Malawian people. Please consider those who go without their entire lives and find out more about this mission; God’s mission given to us. For more information go to: http://presbyterian.ca/pwsd/

Going to Malawi

Posted by on Thursday, March 1st, 2018 in News



In Canada we take many things for granted: warm homes that shelter us from the elements, easily accessible food and clean water, a great education system and health care that looks after our needs. But in some places in the world like Malawi, there is barely any access to clean water; let alone the other necessities that are needed to survive and perpetuate their culture. We can make a difference!  In April, 2 or our members are taking part in a PWS&D trip to Malawi.  We look forward to hearing about how our donations to PWS&D are making a difference.

Malawi Update

Posted by on Thursday, December 7th, 2017 in News



We are lucky to live in a land of plenty, however not all do. In Malawi people go without even the most basic of necessities. We need to reach out and send people to them, so they can be helped and put in a better place and survive.
This mission is coordinated by the PWS&D to help education development, hospital improvement, village health programs as well as HIV and AIDS programs to help inform people on the threat of this disease.
We need to raise $500 per member by mid-March 2018 to be successful in sending our congregation members. Please contact Peter Moyer, Bill Pettit, Jean Godin or Elaine Benson from the Mission and Outreach Committee for further details. Or call the church office to be put in contact with one of these people.
 For more information on the Mission, please consult http://presbyterian.ca/im/missiontrips/
