Celebration for Ladies—Wednesday 9:15 am
February 4th – Homelessness in rural Ontario is an invisible problem leading
many in our community to believe that North Durham is immune to
homelessness. The homeless in North Durham don’t live on the street,
covered in sleeping bags. Ann Watson, North House co-ordinator, will share
with us about homelessness in north Durham, about their ‘Coldest Night of
the Year’ campaign and all of the programs that North House provides to
those in north Durham who are indeed homeless.

Mission News –Morningstar Team (China)
A team of ladies will be travelling to Beijing, China on February 16th and
returning March 1st. Morningstar Family Home is a small foster home in
Beijing that cares for critically ill orphans, primarily with heart defects. The
team will provide loving care to these precious children as the regular staff at
Morningstar will travel to their homes for the Chinese New Year holiday.
The team is collecting supplies to take with them. If you would like to
donate, there will be a donation box near the mailboxes until February 8th.
Supplies for babies:
diaper cream
liquid multi vitamins
vitamin k
eczema lotion
fever reducer (liquid)
Aquafor - vaseline like
coconut oil
crib sheets
Nuk soother
bottles and nipples
hand sanitizer
The team would really like to take special gifts for the nannies. They have
had a very difficult year with the passing of one baby before Christmas and
another going to hospice last week because nothing more could be done.
Many babies have left this past year to go to their forever homes and even
though this is a good thing, it is still very difficult for the nannies. There are
12 nannies.
Some gift ideas for Nannies are:
small - medium tops
makeup
body lotion, face cream
lipstick
gloves
scarves
socks
good water bottles
reusable grocery bag
We would also like to take a double stroller with us if anyone happens to have
one in excellent used condition that they would like to donate! Also, the
house manager at Morningstar, Jenny, would like gospel tracts to hand out if
anyone would like to help in this way.
Thank you so much.
If you have any questions, please call Kimberly Miller at 905-852-4151
