OUR MISSION                                                                                        

Windsor Park United Church seeks to be a wel­coming community. Based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, we nurture our faith and spiritual life by: worshipping and learning together, caring for each other, embracing our diversity, reaching out to those who live around us and working together in service to Creation.

Winter is Coming!

No one deserves to be left out in the cold!

In response to this, there is a collection drive taking place!

We will collect donations here, and Patrick has generously offered to drop them off at the McPhillips St location they have chosen. Collection is taking place between

October 22  – November 22

The Bear Clan is looking for items to help people keep warm and keep their energy up:

  • Socks, mitts, sweaters, jackets, blankets, boots: new or gently used.
  • Individually wrapped non-perishable food items like granola bars, crackers, cookies. (Anything that can be easily handed out while out on patrol walks)
  • Also needed are personal care items like toothpaste, toothbrushes and feminine hygiene products.
