The Mission and Service fund is one way that we at Jasper United reach out into the world to bring hope, help and God's love to people in our province, country and world.
At the beginning of our Sunday worship, we celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, by inviting those who are celebrating to come forward and make a donation to our small church that sits upon our pulpit. The money this small church collects is sent to Wrinch Hospital, a part of the United Church Health Services, in Hazelton, British Columbia. This is a 15-bed hospital, located 180 miles east of Prince Rupert. It serves an aboriginal and non-aboriginal community of over 7,000 people.
Year round by the doors to our Church sits a huge basket that collects food for Jasper Food Bank. At Thanksgiving we hold a food drive inviting our congegation to bring in non-perishable food items.
Annually our United Church hosts a Christmas Tea and Bazaar. This is a chance for folks to slow the pace of the Christmas season. It offers an opportunity to visit over coffee/tea and desert. Our guests are also invited to do some leisurely browsing to find those last minute gifts among the many displayed items for sale.
Do you need bedding plants or hanging baskets? Each spring our folks host the Spring Plant Sale. We bring into our McCready Center a wide variety of plants from bedding plants to beautiful hanging baskets. Look for the announcement of this annual sale in late May.
"Many hands make light the load!" "Thank you" to the many volunteers who give so generously of their time to our thrift shop. Thanks also to the many people of Jasper who bring their gently used items to our thrift shop. It is because of the generosity of many we are able to offer this outreach to those in need.
Our McCready Center is regularly used by local groups, Guides, Brownies, Sparks, the Smoothie club, and Tai Chi (just to name a few) and those who come from far away. The McCready Center has a fully operational kitchen, large meeting space ideal for a time of community, playing games or sleeping overnight while enjoying the many activities in Jasper.
Reaching into the community and the world beyond is one more aspect of who we are as we work together in sharing God's ministry in the mountains!
