Here at Balmoral our caring for those who are homeless can take many different forms. We too can be an encouragement. Have you noticed the Berachah Place 'Blessing Cupboard' in the front entrance filling up week by week? Something as simple as a towel, shampoo or some sunscreen can be gift of kindness to someone on the street. Nine out of ten of Berachah's guests are men. So guys, when it's time to clean out that closet remember what we have in excess may be the change of clothes that blesses someone in need. Homemade cookies packed with an encouragement card are always a blessing. Would you like to help with the repairs needed after the flood? Check out the reverse side for a list of ways to be a blessing.

• Bring spare towels, laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner and sun screen to the Berachah blessing cupboard in the front entrance of the chapel.
• Make a gift of new socks or underwear or bring other items of used clothing that have been gently used.
• When you are baking, remember Berachah Place and bring cookies, muffins etc. Label baking to alert for allergies.
• Berachah could use volunteers (sign up at the welcome centre).
• Would you like to help with preparing a simple lunch, one or two days a week? The food is provided.
• Would you like to sign up to help with the repairs needed after the flood?
• Would you like to be a part of a monthly prayer time for Berachah with Kim Wilson?

"Whatever you do for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."  - Matthew 25:31-40 -

Berachah Place is often in need of washers and dryers. One of Berachah Place's volunteers, Jeanette McCannell has been looking for washers and dryers for Berachah Place. When she finds one her husband is able to supply the truck but we could use some brawn (muscles). If you could be available to hlep lift a washer or dryer downstairs to Berachah Place, please let Brenda McKenzie know (403) 346-9204. Thanks.

We are looking for someone with an interest in video technology to volunteer to video special church events and individual interviews to be used periodically in our Sunday services.  We will supply the equipment and some training - you bring an eagerness and learn to serve.
