GATHERINGS
Centenarian Ruby Chalmers, from Morningside-High Park Presbyterian Church in Toronto, Ont., turned 100 in June! Members gathered on the church lawn to walk over to Ruby’s home together to wish her a happy birthday.
On July 10, 2021, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Hillsburgh, Ont., hosted an outdoor book, games and puzzle sale, raising $500 as part of their church fundraising initiatives. The craft pop-up sale was run by another member of the community. All items were donated by the community. One hundred and forty-three food items and a few cash donations for the East Wellington Food Bank were also collected. It was a fun day and a wonderful opportunity to see fellow members of St. Andrew’s, Hillsburgh— and local faces, too!
