                                      NORTHMINSTER IN ACTION

                                  OUR FOODGRAINS PROJECT

Two combines harvested the 25 acres of corn.              Unloading corn from a combine

In 2009 our church donated $3925 to the Belgrave Community Foodgrains Project. Thanks to additional donatione from Belgrave's Knox United, plus donations of labour, materials and supplies, a crop of corn was planted, and, when harvested and sold in the fall, the profit was $9,900. A $200 honoraruim for the Outreach Sunday guest speaker was also donated, so a cheque for $10,100 was sent to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in 2009. When matched 4:1 by the Candian International Development Agency, the result is $50,500 contributed to world relief.


                                                                          PARENT AND TOT

The Parent and Tot group meets every wednesday at 9.30 am. Nursery care is provided for the babies and the toddlers have craft activities. We have a group of dedicated volunteers to take care of the children. Parents meet in the parlour for various activities.
