Woolwich Community Services provide support for the most vulnerable in our Community.
We help by filling our grocery cart each month.
For the month of February we are collecting laundry soap and mayonnaise.
Let’s decorate our church for Easter Sunday!
Purchase a potted flower to be placed in our sanctuary and dedicate it in “Honour”, “Memory” or “Celebration” of anyone or anything!
We will ask that sometime after the Easter Service you pick up the flower you ordered and enjoy it, plant it, or take to someone you can brighten their day.
Please put your order and payment in the Church Office mail file or turn into the office by March 13th.

LENTEN COMMUNIONS
TUESDAYS IN LENT – 7:00 pm
The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday – February 10th this year. Lent is a season of reflection and preparation leading us to Good Friday and Easter – March 27th. Many people do special tasks, sacrifices or rituals to mark these 40 days. At Gale we will hold special mid-week communion services, each Tuesday starting on February 16th and concluding on March 22nd. Beginning at 7 p.m. and lasting about 30 – 45 minutes, these meaningful and non-traditional communion services will be another opportunity for us to enrich our walk with God. Come and join us on the chancel for these special services.
