Operation Christmas Child: The 2025 season has started. Shoeboxes for underprivileged children in Third World countries will be collected at the Wesleyan Church from November 17-22. Empty boxes are available on a table in the hall.

The Pipes Are Calling on November 16: A fun afternoon of classical, rock, pop, broadway and movie music on the awesome Casavant pipe organ at St. Mary Magdalene Church.

November 16 Offering: Our offering today is Quinte Regional Christian Schools, which is the amalgamation of these 4 schools: Trenton Christian School, Sonrise Academy, Belleville Christian School, and Quinte Christian High School. Together they create a dynamic, independent group of schools in the Quinte region, seeking to educate and inspire students to engage with the world in the way of Jesus, and to foster wholeness and a vibrant connection to their community. qrcs.ca

November 23 Offering: The 2nd collection for this day is for the Quinte West Warming Centre located at Trenton United Church. The warming centre, which opens nightly in December, provides a warm place of shelter for individuals to seek relief from the cold; There they can find a safe place to rest, fuel up with snacks and hot liquids, and have a chance to get clean warm clothes for the next day. Let's be the hands and feet of Jesus, and help fund necessary supplies to last throughout the cold winter.
