Ministry Outside Our Walls

Reaching Out To THQ Neighbours

Jan 14, 2009 Add comment
Ministry Outside Our Walls
Every year the Corps Ministries department from THQ make a special Christmas visit to the Jessie Manson Centre, a workshop for handicapped adults located next door to THQ.  In preparation for our visit we obtain and wrap 85 individual Christmas gifts for  the clients that work at the centre, and plan an exciting hour of carols, Christmas stories, and special guests.  This year the clients were actively engaged by Randy Hicks and his puppet  'friends', who helped everyone to focus on the sounds, smells, tastes and sights of Christmas, finishing with the image of baby Jesus.  A brass ensemble helped us with our carol sing, and we were treated to a flute medley-sing-along.  Approximately 30 representatives from several departments at THQ joined us in bringing cheer to our neighbours.  Many thanks to those who helped and supported, and to Kim Garreffa who organizes this effort.
