  1. Property Management Notice

    • Thanks to all who volunteered to help with the gardening on Saturday

  2. Food Drive 2022

    • From September 11th, 2022 to October 2nd, 2022, please donate the currently most needed non-expired and non-perishable food for Mississauga Food Bank by bringing the food to the church (Peanut butter, canned beans, canned meat, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned soup, canned stew, fruit juice, flour, pasta, rice, cereal, Kraft dinner).

    • This year, we shall have a pilot Neighbours Help Neighbours Food Drive by delivering (Sept 18th)  and collecting (Sept 25th) brown grocery bags to and from a nearby small neighbourhood of about 150 families. We are hoping by reaching out to the community, we can help out our society better.  This food drive enables us to serve while celebrating our church's 30th anniversary. In the meantime, it's just in time to meet the high food demand around the Thanksgiving Holiday.

    • For those who are interested in helping out, please contact info@stechurch.com
