50 Years of Mission and Ministry
Almighty and
eternal God, so
draw our hearts to
you, so guide our
minds, so fill our
imaginations, so
control our wills,
that we may be
wholly yours,
utterly dedicated
to you; and then
use us, we pray, as
you will, and
always to your
glory and the
welfare of your
people; through
our Lord and
Savior Jesus
Christ. Amen.

A Thank You from the NETWorks Cooperative Ministry
On behalf of the NETWorks Cooperative Ministry, the Outreach Council, would like
to thank everyone who responded to the Coats and Socks drive in November. The
recipients of these items were most grateful and thankful, for your unfailing generosity, which meant that they were sent on their way with some relief from the chilly
weather.
A special word of thanks must be extended to Elaine McClean, who single handedly
for 2 years, has provided soft toys to this ministry for the children of the clients who
arrive seeking help. The toys prove to be a great boon to the volunteers, when it
comes to keeping the children occupied while the parents are being interviewed.
The NETWorks Cooperative Ministry is fully aware that it would not be able to operate successfully, without the support of the churches in the community. And St.
Bede’s, I am pleased to report, is one of the most responsive.
