Random Acts of Kindness
To kindness and love, the things we need most! – The Grinch
We know that acts of kindness make a massive difference in our community and the world. They can make someone feel seen, be the start of a new friendship or even break a pattern of estrangement or isolation.
To that end, we have compiled a list of suggestions for small acts of kindness that help focus on giving back during the advent season. Check it out HERE

“Journey to the Heart:
Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love”
ADVENT 2024 December 1 – 29
This Advent season, “Journey to the Heart” invites us to explore the profound gifts that prepare us for the coming of Christ. Each week, we journey deeper into the heart of what Advent means, embracing Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, and discover how these gifts transform our lives, strengthen our spirits, and guide us toward Christmas Eve, when we celebrate the arrival of Jesus, the Light of the World. The season concludes with a reflective look back on the year and forward with renewed purpose on December 29.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.

WHY Do We Wrap Christmas Gifts?
Pretty much everyone who gives a Christmas present wraps it in colourful paper—or a pretty box or gift bag. But why? The historical answer is that back in the 19th century, most people gave each other homemade gifts, which came wrapped in intimacy and affection, but usually without any wrapping paper. When stores wanted in on the Christmas gift business, they were in competition with homemade items. To compete, they started wrapping their products, so they looked more special. In time, everyone was buying wrapping paper for almost all Christmas gifts, even the homemade ones.
