Mission Circle
Mission Circle
Mission Circle
For over 100 years, women of all ages have gathered, at St. Paul's, as members of Mission Circle--a branch of Women's Missionary Society (WMS) of the Presbyterian Church in Canada (PCC). "The Women's Missionary Society is a community of Christians whose purpose, in response to the love of God in Jesus Christ, is to encourage one another and all the people of the church to be involved in local and world mission through prayer, study, service and fellowship."
The purpose of Mission Circle:
- Learn & support PCC mission work
- Worship in a casual, friendly atmosphere.
Thistle Club
Mission Circle
Thistle Club
For 65 years, the Thistles have been dedicated to serving St. Paul’s through fund-raisers, including catering. In the past they hosted an annual fund-raising event, the Holly Tea and Bazaar, a Christmas luncheon and sale--the spectacular Thistle made fruit and meat pies are fiercely sought after and purchased. In 2022, they held a Cookie Walk (and knitting) instead of the former Holly Tea and Bazaar. Proceeds are donated to special projects and ongoing congregational needs.
