Once again as we look forward to the Christmas season we want to give you and your family some ideas to serve through supporting local ministries by volunteering and through giving gifts that help in practical ways.
These are opportunities with some of our ministry partners in Oakville, Toronto and internationally through CBM . . . as we approach this Christmas, may we share the love of God with someone else in need of encouragement, resources, or just a personal connection. This is a great way we can Serve this year!
King's is partnering with Frontline Ministries, Oak Park Neighbourhood Center, Evangel Hall Mission and Canadian Baptist Ministries in Lebanon to offer you several opportunities to get connected to serving in our community and beyond.

Through our partner in Lebanon, Joe Bridi, you can give a gift to help support local churches with identified areas of need, such as food supplies, mattresses, blankets, shelter, hygiene supplies, masks and psychosocial support for both refugees and locals. This is such a broad crisis that resources will be needed to help in almost every possible way.
