Snack Attack!

Snack Attack!

Snack Attack is wonderful way for us as a church to spread God’s love and to offer healthy snacks to the children and youth of Chandler Mowat. We gather from 1:30 to 4:00 on Tuesdays for meaningful conversation, encouragement and to spread God’s love and peace. You are always welcome to join the Snack Attack team.

Your Giving Impact…

September brought a fresh start to our children and youth programs.   Your giving funded our Clothing Distribution Sunday giving Chandler Mowat families essential back-to-school clothing.  It also fueled the launch of a new season of  Sunday  Kids' Zone, Wednesday Youth Group, Tuesday Snack Attack and CM High School Suppers.  All of these programs are focused on building strong relationships and creating environments where young people can encounter God's overflowing love.

Every Gift Matters!

We recognize that not everyone is able to give financially in the same way, but every gift matters! Thank you for the many ways you support and care for our church community through your financial generosity, your selfless gift of time, your unique talents, and your faithful prayers!
