PICTOU UNITED CHURCH is Once again Creating our CAN-STRUCTION CHRISTMAS CREATION!
Throughout the Advent-Christmas Season the people of Pictou United Church will once again be creating our CAN-struction Christmas Creation! This unique Christmas Creation is created from donations of cans and other non-perishable food items.
In 2008 we made a huge difference as we CAN-structed our Christmas Tree and then donated over 880 cans to the Pictou West Food Bank. In 2009 we “Boxed-It-Up” as we created a Christmas Sleigh out of 350 boxes of food items, which were again donated to the Pictou West Food Bank. In 2010 we CAN-Structed a Christmas Tree once again, with over 400 items going to the Pictou West Food Bank. And, last year, we CAN-Structed the Bethlehem stable, resulting in a donation of over 900 food items to the Pictou West Food Bank.
This year we are planning another CAN-struction Christmas Creation.
At the moment, the design is a secret, however all will be revealed as we begin CAN-Struction on Sunday, December 2nd.
We know that we are up for the challenge and we are challenging and inviting
ALL of the wider Pictou community to join us.
We are inviting you to join us by bringing your donations of ….cans of soup or vegetables with red or white labels… cans of Apple Juice… Bottles of Peanut Butter…boxes of Saltine Crackers.
Leep in mind that this year we are using a white, red, green and gold colour theme.
However, any and all donations will be gratefully received.
You can drop off your donations at Pictou United Church on Tuesday or Sunday mornings; or call the Pictou United Church Office (485-8081) to arrange a suitable time.
Our CAN-structing will begin on Sunday, December 2nd (1st Sunday of Advent)
and will come to a close during our Christmas Eve worship.
For further information please call Rev. Mary-Beth Moriarity at Pictou United Church at 485-8081

WE CAN! TWO CAN! MANY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
