Our Thanks to Cedar Park United Church

In an effort to build a greater understanding about work done by its social justice partners, Cedar Park United Chuch initiated the 12 Months of 2012 Project based on Matthew 25:35.

Each month, a different programme is featured and Cedar Parkers and friends are invited to donate money and shop for specific items. "The response has been amazing," said Elizabeth Chown Lafreniere, who proposed the project. "Our seniors on fixed incomes are proudly buying a toothbrush or bar of soap each week, our young families are teaching their children that we can help others every month, not just in December, and we are holding our social justice partners in our prayers." 

May was Montreal City Mission month for Projet Refuge. June's focus is Camp Cosmos.
Merci beaucoup Cedar Park!
