It's getting cold now and many members of our local community would really appreciate new socks. This is an initiative Margaret Grepe began and we hope we can continue this "Health & Healing" Outreach. Mittens/gloves would also be welcome. Can you help please? If you can, please leave your gift at our Church Office. Thank you.
Souper-Time Volunteers
The people of St. Peter's are invited to bring milk bags and deposit them into a box located at the Parish Nurse office. Donna Crosby's mother cuts the bags into strips and crochets them into 40" by 60" waterproof mats. She needs 257 bags to make just one mat. At present the mats are being sent to Japan for tsunami victims.

Need a use for your Christmas dinner leftovers? There is always a need for casseroles for the Parish Nurse ministry. Thanks so much for your contribution!
The “Monday morning walkers” are out again every Monday at 9:30 am. However, Karen has discovered the wonderful track at the new Community Centre so she is moving the walk, during the cold weather to that venue. So meet at the church at 9:20 for a ride, or at the Cobourg Community Centre, on D’Arcy Street, by 9:30.
