We serve God in the world through work worship and witness as disciples of Jesus Christ. We hold worship services weekly with a social time after our Sunday service. We also regularly lead worship services at area nursing homes and senior's residences. We offer pastoral care to those who are elderly ill or bereaved. We provide space free of charge for various community support groups including the CW Click Program for youth with special needs as well as space for community gardens. We host community activities in our Butterfly Garden and Hall. This year we continued to run a community lunch program for those who need food and companionship. This program served 40-60 people bi-weekly and involves approximately 30 volunteers who provide about 200 volunteer hours per year. We continued to support various other charities such as The Grove Hub The Canadian Red Cross CMHA Centre Wellington Food Bank St. Matthew's House and Guelph Wellington Woman in Crisis. We are an integral part of the Fergus community and well known for our work worship and witness.
