Abiding Place Ministries Church &
100 Boxes Of Useful Gifts Sent
To Those In Need
So Very Far Away
Pastor Gord Horley's wife,(L) Kate Horsley and Ladies Ministries Co-ordinator Helen Milley(R) stand with the fruits of their Church, Abiding Place Ministries' labour of love, filling 100 boxes with very useful presents being sent to those in need via the Salvation Army in Orangeville who will arrange transportation, arriving to children around the world. As part of The Samaritan's Purse, their Operation Christmas Child Project has blossomed to the point where the organization can proudly boast reaching 135 million shoe boxes having reached as many children.
Each show box is filled with items from a list provided and suggests the boxes be filled with items such as baby powder, scarves, beads, coloring books, pencils and sharpeners, sewing kits, soccer ball and pump, tools, tooth brushes, windup flashlights, craft items, dolls and hair accessories which are just a few mentioned on a list totally 100 suggestions. There are five things to remember: No Food Items, No Used Or Dirty Items, No Liquids Or Items That Can Leak, Melt or Freeze, No Breakable Items, No Items That Could Scare Or Harm A Child.
Shoe boxes are also filled with age appropriate items to accommodate children of all ages.
Last year, in their first year, Abiding Place Ministries filled 30 boxes which is commendable and this year to reach 100 boxes is astounding and wonderful. It's definitely THE GOOD STUFF!

The Day After The Day Before & A Trump Victory Over Clinton
In an unprecedented political electoral upset, Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States of America.
While very few could have predicted the take down of key democratic states, Donald Trumps campaign somehow managed to pull off this highly unexpected win appealing to voters dissatisfaction in Democratic policy.
World leaders are stunned as a result of Trumps win and many Americans are now frightened over their unpredictable futures as the world reviews Trump's previously made promises on the campaign trail.
It's no secret that Trump holds no real affection for Canada and now Canadian Politicians reveal concern over trade deals, and other Canadian- US agreements. Trade Markets across the board plummeted as expected following any election but the world is waiting to see what the fallout or progress will be within the next 100 days. The one and only certain aspect of the Trump victory, is the uncertainty. Questions are already arising over the possibility Trump will not be able to unite the Republican Party and after such an unprecedented electoral election filled with rhetoric the likes the US has never experienced before, US undocumented immigrants are frightened to be deported. These are just a few of the promises made by Trump during the electoral process: the wall in Mexico, NAFTA, the abolishment of everything OBAMA, gay marriage, LGBT community, Black Lives Matter..Moving forward in an uncertain future, Canada will feel the fallout. What that fallout will include is a suspenseful prospect. Perhaps hoping the best is all the world can do now.

Each year The Little Family present their highly locally anticipated Halloween Event, A Haunt In The Park held at Shelburne's Fiddle Park. They ask that participants bring canned goods in support of Shelburne's Food Bank, the Shepherd's Cupboard. Monetary donations are also accepted.

Additionally, the gardens celebrate the Dutch-Canadian gift of 100,000 Dutch tulip bulbs, sent to Canadians in 1945 as a symbol of appreciation for the role Canadian soldiers played in the liberation of the Netherlands and the hospitality Canada provided to the Dutch Royal Family during WWII.
Shelburne’s garden and the other 149 gardens planted across the country, will be symbolically linked to the flagship 150th Celebration Garden Promenade, consisting of 25,000 tulips donated by Vasey’s, located adjacent to Niagara Falls.

The Town Of Shelburne & Shelburne's Royal Canadian Legion Collaboratively Produced A Hometown Hero Banner Tribute To Our Beloved Veterans That You Will Never Forget!
Shelburnites can now proudly walk Shelburne's Main Street in awe and admiration of the first of many Hometown Hero Banners honouring our beloved veterans. In a collaborative effort on behalf of the Town of Shelburne and a newly formed committee at Shelburne's Royal Canadian Legion,The Hometown Hero Banner Committee, 26 banners featuring our very own Hometown Heroes are now unveiled. The unveiling ceremony took place appropriately on November 1, 2016 and was held at Shelburne Town Hall. Although other communities have taken part in a Hometown Hero project, there is absolutely nothing like noticing your loved one's face, our heroes, correctly above our heads, with only the sky as a backdrop, somehow protecting us still as they done before.
A deeply emotional experience for all who attended, FaceBook was buzzing in delight as Main Street shoppers noticed that on every street light post, a Hometown Hero smiled down on them. Once the 2016 banners are taken down, they will forever hang in Shelburne's Royal Canadian Legion for all to admire, never to be forgotten.
For more information about this wonderful project and for questions regarding 2017, contact Shelburne's Royal Canadian Legion at 203 William St, Shelburne, ON L0N 1S0 or call (519) 925-3800.
