Donna Garvin was treated to a surprise birthday party at the church on Dec 10. Many of Donna’s family, church family and friends were present to celebrate this amazing lady.  Donna’s sense of humour, deep faith, kind ways and positive spirit are a joy to all that know her.

The Athens High School grade 7-8 band led by their music teacher, Dennis Dickson, entertained us with their music during our Dec 11 service.  Thanks for sharing your music with us!

All donated items on the “groaning table” were donated to the Athens Food Bank which serves the people in our immediate and broader community. Thank you to all for your generosity!

A bursary to help finance an experience that will enrich the life of a child has been established by the Athens UCW in honour of a beloved congregant who died in 2022.  This bursary is open to all children and is applicable for a wide variety of activities. The child has been selected for 2022 and this person will be enjoying an opportunity to go to camp for a week.  If you are interested in nominating a child for 2023 please phone the church office at (613-924-2175).  We will be considering applicants for 2023 in November, 2022.
