Havelock-Trent River Pastoral Charge

Our church continues to have a regular sunday service each week with an average of 18 to 25 in attendance. The church dining hall is very busy being used by different groups of the community weekly eg. Book club kntting group aa atv the rail and lions club. Our church holds the community carol service in december and community christmas eve service. We serve dinners to the seniors at noon once a month and hold numerous fundraising projects during the year eg. Easter eggs yard sale strawberry supper christmas pudding sales. We contribute to the m & s and to our local food bank. Our members are 90% seniors and many are not able to help with projects so a few are doing the work. Our church is used for funeral lunches as needed by the community. It is difficult to develop new programs when there are so few of us and most are seniors and not interested in committing to helping with programs. We are proud that we have a weekly service and in the past three years we have had 7 new folks join us regularly. We are committed to keeping up the programs we have and having the community use our facililities.
