Anniversary Celebration: 

First C.R.C. of Kingston is celebrating their 75th year of worship. You are invited to join us in worship and praise at 10 a.m. on Jan 11, 2026 (weather permitting) at 310 Kingscourt Ave., Kingston, ON. We hope you will join us for this occasion.

January 4 Offering: Our second offering is for Trenton Care and Share Foodbank, whose mission is to serve the people of Quinte West by providing food to individuals and families who are experiencing food insecurity, and this number continues to rise daily as costs continues to stay beyond the reach of those less fortunate. trentonfoodbank.ca
