During the Advent season we will be hosting these fellowship events on a weekly basis.

Advent Family Craft Night

As we cannot gather for our usual bonfire, carol sing and Advent kick off in person this year, we thought we would have a family craft night on Friday November 27, 2020 @ 7:00 p.m. via ZOOM. We would give you the list of supplies you would need or alternately we will have a limited amount of “craft kits” available for pick on Monday. November 23rd from 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. or Monday November 23 from 6:30-7:30 at the church. The craft will be an Advent wreath that you can add to each week during Advent. We will also post the video of the craft on our YouTube site for those that cannot attend the Friday night ZOOM. Video will be posted after the ZOOM craft night. Please let the office know if you are interested and to receive the ZOOM link. We also need to know if you require a craft kit.

Donations can be dropped off at the church, sent in through snail mail, sent by etransfer, or through CanadaHelps. Please indicate that it is for the Christmas Hampers.

From the Minister

If you feel the need to talk, to bent, to laugh, to hear another’s voice, please know that the phone and the email at the church is constantly being checked so if you need to speak to me, please call. If we do not answer, leave your name and number and I will call you back. We are in this together and we will get through this together, because that is what we do here at Windsor Park United Church.

If You Are Inside The Church Building

If for any reason you enter the church building you will find a log book and hand sanitizer. We are asking that you sign the log book, record what areas of the building you are in and please use the hand sanitizer. It is mandatory that you also wear a mask. This is to aid in keeping the building clean, sanitized, and safe.
