Robson Valley Shared Ministry

To provide shared worship and Christian fellowship in the communities of McBride Dunster and Valemount BC. the Robson Valley Shared Ministry is funded by donations from the McBride Anglican /United Church and the Valemount Anglican/United Church. Some years we receive grants from the Pacific Mountain Regional Council of the United Church of Canada and the Territory of the People - Anglican Church. The Robson Valley Shared Ministry pays payroll and housing costs travel expenses conference fees and associated worship costs for our clergy. We are also part of a small rural general hospital's Spiritual Care Committee providing monthly worship /prayer services in turn with other local church denominations. Our minister continues with on-call spiritual support for staff patients residents and their families as per Northern Health Authority protocols. We continue with Camp Spirit a vacation bible school program in both communities. A well received program that we look forward to running each year. As an outreach to the McBride and area community the 'Downtown Thrift Store' is a busy little place twice a week offering social connections as well as a place to buy used clothing and small household items. In Valemount the 'Blessings Thrift Store' has become a valuable outreach resource for that community providing quality used goods clothing and social opportunities on a weekly basis.
