Greetings! Sometimes we have visiting children. My goal in February is to update the nursery and put together some “fidget boxes.” Re the Nursery… Do you have any toys or books in there that you are attached to? Let me know. I hope to replace much of our current stock with more modern toys and books. I may be asking for donations. Also, do you have a computer you know longer use that is internet friendly and uses CDs? Veggie Tales can be very entertaining. (At least it is for me.) Regarding the fidget boxes for older kids who will stay in with the adults, I’ll wait until the reopening of MCC Thrift! – Jan Steven

Know that you can easily reach Pastor Darrell or Jan if you would like pastoral care or a friendly visit. If you are aware that someone is having a health challenge or other situation, they are only a phone call away from the offer of excellent soup. Our contact information is at the end of our church bulletin. 😊  Over the next few weeks I hope to highlight various local missions that Grace Mennonite Church supports – including Bridge of Hope, Westview Centre for Women, the St. Catharines Soup Kitchen, and Bears and Blankets. Bears and Blankets Update! We have placed just over 200 Bears and Blankets Care Kits in 13 Long Term Homes. Only 13 more LTC Homes to get on board! And the offering is ongoing. I continue to welcome all donations of next-to-new teddy bears and homey small blankets. The kits also includes a beary sweet card and a bear-paw cookie. In the next few months I hope to meet with our local MPs – Jennie Stevens and Wayne Gates – to see what can be done to ensure our Elders are treasured and LTC staff are valued. If you would like to join me, let me know. Love always, Jan Steven. “It always a blessing to learn the wisdom from elderly people.” - Lailah Gifty Akita  |
