We're looking for volunteers to purchase gift cards for Christmas Hampers in denominations of $25 or $50. The contributions on your behalf are covered by the Social Justice Program. Get in touch with us to volunteer
Every year during Advent season we prepare hampers for 12 to 24 Langley families who are in need, with the hope that we can help them have a joyous Christmas. The families are referred to us by the Langley Christmas Bureau and each family receives several boxes of groceries and a gift for each family member. The hampers are traditionally delivered on the last Saturday before Christmas.
Because of covid, this year we will be purchasing gift cards for the families and also donating funds to the Langley Christmas Bureau. If you would like to help purchase the gifts cards, please get in touch with Andrea Hammond who will be coordinating this effort. The cost is covered by the Social Justice Program budget.

Advent begins next Sunday, and here is the Moderator's Advent message.
In his Advent message, Moderator Richard Bott reminds us that for everything there is a season. Advent and Christmas will be different this year. We will need to keep our physical distance and cover our faces. Perhaps the distance this pandemic brings can allow us to prepare our spiritual life for the coming of the Christ child.
One step at a time. Each in its own order. There is a time for everything.
