Community Outreach
Our congregation, while small, is motivated by the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew - "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." (Matthew 25:35-36)
We do all that we can to help the poor, take care of the sick and welcome the stranger. Many members of the congregation choose to give a portion of their weekly or monthly offerings to the United Church of Canada’s Mission and Service Fund which helps people in Canada and around the world. We prepare Easter Baby Baskets wherein our members provide necessities and small luxuries for newborns whose families use the English social services.
Some of our knitters are involved in making blankets for Project Linus to provide lovingly-knit blankets for hospitalized children.
We are strong partners with the Community Christmas Hamper Campaign which originated at Chalmers-Wesley in 1967 and since 1995 has been coordinated through the Jeffery Hale Community Centre.
Those we help are strangers but all are warmly cared for in our hearts.
Year-round, we use our valuable resources, the building and our organ, to enhance the quality of life in the surrounding community. We support an ‘Open Doors’ program which welcomes Quebec City’s many tourists to enjoy our historic building, and we underwrite many musical and cultural activities.
