Hope United Church has now been listed for sale. Please help us spread the word and move the building and property along to a new chapter in the life of the community. Here is a link to the on-line listing:
New Heat Pumps and Propane Furnaces have been installed. This gives us the opportunity for a more sustainable option for heating and cooling our Church. Total cost of the system is approximately $50,000. The Trustees of the Church have secured a favourable loan from the Toronto United Church Council to assist in the financing of the installation. This has been done with the approval of our Regional Council, ECORC. In order to reduce the amount of the loan needed, Highland Hills is launching a fundraising drive – “Warm Your Soul”. Here is how you can contribute.
Make a donation directly by:
* Including in your weekly envelope noting the $$ amount for the furnace
* Including in separate envelope marked Furnace Fund. Include your name for receipting purposes.
* Include in PAR by arranging with Don Pflug. His email is donaldpflug@gmail.com
* e Transfer to highlandhillspc2020@gmail.com Note in the comments box that the monies are for “Warm Your Soul”.
* By credit card at Canada Helps. Search for Highland Hills United Church at

A Time of Fellowship after church
Reminder that we need the congregation to sign-up to help set up, clean up and donate goodies for the after-church Time of Fellowship. Please sign up on the sign-up sheet by the kitchen opening.
Sincerely, Rev. Max
