Bishop of Malawi (2)Malawi Thank you
Bishop Christopher Boyle of the Diocese of Northern Malawi visited Christ Church Deer Park May 14 to tell us about the Dietary Clinic that we support on the Island of Likoma. Bishop Boyle sent a thank-you note to the Rector last week:


Thank you for the opportunity to spend time with you and the members of your congregation a few weeks ago. It was a valuable and rewarding visit for me. The Dietary Clinic had a flying start and is making an important difference in the lives of so many people living with HIV-AIDS. Thank you so much to the people of CCDP. The Island of Likoma is far from Deer Park, but I know that if some of you were able to cross the miles, you would find your visit a life-changing experience. Thank you all so very much for your generosity! Every blessing + Christopher.

Outreach Annual Summer Appeal and Fundraiser
CCDP Community Breakfast & Community Kitchen Programs
Thanks to Vickie Grant, Ross Morrow and all of our wonderful volunteers for one more successful season of our regular, alternate Saturday Community Breakfast for the needy at CCDP, which has just been completed. This, along with our Community Kitchen Cooking School program, also for the needy, are due to start up again post Labour Day in the Fall. In the interim we are renewing our annual summer fundraising appeal. The money raised goes directly to purchasing food supplies for these two outreach programs. The Breakfast currently feeds approximately 35 guests every Saturday to individuals who rely on us to make a small difference in their lives. We appreciate the generosity of so many of you, and your friends in the community, who are able to contribute to these much needed and worthwhile activities, particularly in these most demanding times. Charitable Tax Receipts are issued at the end of the year so please ensure that cheques are made payable to CCDP Outreach! Again thank you for your ongoing support.
- Brian Buckingham, Outreach Chair

Toronto Green Bin Green Bin Program at CCDP - To minimize the amount of trash that is put out, Christ Church Deer Park is now participating in the green bin program. The Green Bin Program allows us to put organic waste out for curbside collection, which can then be made into high-quality compost. The Green Bin Program will increase our waste diversion and greatly reduce the amount of garbage we send to landfill. Help us get with the program! More about the green bin program here »

Used batteries - Don't know what to do with your old or used batteries? Bring them to CCDP and place them in the bin in the Atrium. We will take care of disposing them safely. Be part of the green solution! See the CCDP green page »

Re-cycle your egg cartons and plastic grocery bags - bring them to CCDP and leave them in the Food Bank box in the Atrium. The Churches on the Hill (COTH) FoodBank will use the cartons to repackage flats of eggs for their clients. More on COTH »

Can You Knit?
Just a simple stitch will do to make small shawl/blankets to give to our shut-ins as a symbol of the Church's love and prayers for them while they are in hospital, nursing homes, or at home and unable to come to Church. Norma Ross has the pattern to make these gifts for members of our community. Call the office for info: 416-920-5211
