In keeping with the direction set forth by the Moderator of the United Church, we are embarking on a new phase in our WrapAround Programme. Our new, faith based, approach positions us to work with other faith organisations to extend the WrapAround process to a larger community. In order to distinguish our faith based program from the previous community programme, we have a new name. Stoney Creek United Church W.R.A.P. It stands for wrapping resources around people. So, although our name has changed, we will still be serving the disadvantaged families in our community and helping to stop the cycle of poverty.

We are in need of a couple of items. A toddler bed and gently used stove and fridge if anyone has one. The items will be picked up, and are needed for June 13th. If you can help us with these items please call Colleen at 905-662-4963 ext 224.

A new venture for your spare time, are you interested? This involves saving the four litre milk bag (the large bag only that contains the 3 small clear milk bags). They will be cut in a special way, knotted to form a plastic rope, rolled into a ball then crocheted into a mat. The resulting mats will be sent to various countries that can use them for people to sleep on. They can just roll them up, tuck them under their arm and walk off. The mat size is 30in by 48in for children and 36in by 60in for adults. This requires a lot of bags. The bags must dry when saving them. Our next meeting will be on Jan. 30th at 1:30 P.M. in Room #6. Please bring scissors and if able to crochet, a # 7 Hook. This is open to anyone interested in the church or your neighbours. Questions may be directed to Ruth Tschanz (905)573–6036
