Monday, January 27: Beer and Hymns

The United Churches of Mississauga have been trying to come up with ideas to bring the people of the various communities together for worship and for fun.

The next event is planned for an evening of Beer and Hymns on Monday, January 27, 2020 at the Erin Mills Pump & Patio for 6:30 pm.

Located in: Sherwood Forrest Village

Address: 1900 Dundas St W, Mississauga, ON L5K 1P9

We would be in the upstairs area - not fully accessible, those attending will need to be able do stairs. The Erin Mills Pump & Patio will make the space available. There is no set fee for this event. They will make money on sales of food & drinks only. We are planning on being there for a couple of hours, so if you don't come until 7 or 7:30 you will still be able to participate.

COMFORT KITS

Once again this year we will be collecting small travel size toiletry items - shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, creams, lotions, etc. Please bring your items to the church and deposit in the labelled box.

We will be collecting over the next several weeks for distribution at the Open Door at the end of February. Thank you.

OUTDOOR SKATING

Throughout the winter, everyone (men and women) interested in skating is invited to skate for fun and exercise. This group has been skating the last several winters visiting numerous outdoor skating paths e.g. the Kipling path, The Bentway, outdoor rinks in Mississauga.  This year the group will skate in the morning on Monday and/or Thursday, weather permitting.  If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Kathy Andres to have your name put on the communication list. The group usually meets around 10 am to car-pool to the chosen rink. All are welcome!
