GROW STAFF:

This year weve received 4 grants from Canada Summer Jobs and have hired
Aaron Joo (supervisor), Duncan Urquhart, Ashika Kuttaiya & Rana Eissa.

The Grow Staff program is an 8-12 week employment

opportunity for youth and young adults to have meaningful summer
work experience. Grow staff take care of our community garden,
run a free childrens camp, lead worship, help out around the church
and attend the Go Project. The Go Project is a 10 day outreach and
mission program. It is a chance for youth and young adults from all
over Canada to live together in a church and learn about the needs
of the surrounding community. Our youth will be going to the Go
Project in Vancouver from July 3rd to July 14th.

A BIG THANK YOU for the generous donations received

by members of our congregation to help fund their trip!
