Willa Burke of Cordova Bay United Church Monday delivered two large bags full of children’s clothing to the Cridge Centre for the Family. The new mitts, hats and socks will go to support children in need.
The CBUC congregation made the donations as part of its celebration of the 100th anniversary of the United Church of Canada.
The United Church was inaugurated on June 10, 1925 in Toronto, Ontario, when the Methodist Church, the Congregational Union and 70 percent of The Presbyterian Church in Canada entered into a union.
Cordova Bay United is celebrating the 100th anniversary by raising $25,000 for the United Church’s Mission and Service Fund. The Mission and Service Fund provides clean water, food, shelter, medical aid, community of faith support, refugee programs and emergency aid — both in Canada around the world.
During this anniversary year, Cordova Bay United is also supporting local groups in need with special fundraising campaigns.
In October, CBUC collected donations of food and delivered them to the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank in Sidney.
In November, the congregation collected children’s mitts, hats and socks for families at the Cridge Centre for the Family.
The congregation is collecting Christmas gifts during December for donation to those in need in the inner-city as part of the Angel Gift Christmas program run by Our Place.

Laughter, singing and joy rang throughout Cordova Bay United Church on Friday evening as 20 children took part in the fun of Messy Christmas.
When they arrived, the children set to work at an assortment of craft tables where they decorated gingerbread cookies, used glue and coloured paper to make a Christmas wreath, crafted their own snowman, and decorated a Christmas tree.
Then the children and their families — 55 people in all — sat down to a delicious dinner of chicken strips, fries and a fresh vegetable platter prepared and served by the Ethel Wilson Women’s Group.
Following dinner, the children made their way into the sanctuary where Children and Youth Leader Moira Dennis read them a Christmas story.
Children and Youth Leader Grace Cave then led the children in Christmas carols, to the rousing accompaniment of Lynn Dennis on piano.
The evening ended with each child receiving a handmade stocking filled with goodies. Barb Waldner handed out the stockings, which were made by Carol-Ann Staples.

It’s official — Cordova Bay United Church is getting new carpet in the sanctuary.
Church council on Wednesday approved a recommendation from the Property Committee to replace the carpet.

The new carpet will cost about $28,800.
The Ethel Wilson Women’s Group has donated more than $10,000 for the new carpet. A church fundraiser several years ago raised several thousand more. The remainder of the cost will covered by existing church funds.

Pastor Beth Parsons with food donated to the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank
Pastor Beth Parsons recently delivered a shopping cart full of food for the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank.
The food was donated by the congregation of Cordova Bay United Church as part of its celebration of the 100th anniversary of the United Church of Canada.
The United Church was inaugurated on June 10, 1925 in Toronto, Ontario, when the Methodist Church, the Congregational Union and 70 percent of The Presbyterian Church in Canada entered into a union. Also joining was the small General Council of Union Churches, centred largely in Western Canada.

The Mission and Service Fund provides clean water, food, shelter, medical aid, community of faith support, refugee programs and emergency aid — both in Canada around the world.
During this anniversary year, Cordova Bay United is also supporting local groups in need with special fundraising campaigns.
In October, CBUC collected donations of food and delivered them to the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank in Sidney.
For the month of November, the church has been filling a shopping basket with new children’s mitts, hats and socks for families in need at the Cridge Centre for the Family.
If you want to contribute to the Cridge Centre families in need, you have until the end of the month to make a donation of children’s mitts, hats and socks.
