Nearly ten years ago, when many of our members first arrived in Canada, the members of Floradale Mennonite Church were among the first who reached out to us. They held our hands, guided us, opened their doors, welcomed us into their homes, and became true friends in a new country.

This visit was a heartfelt thank-you — an expression of our deep gratitude for their kindness, support, and friendship throughout the years. We are truly thankful for every good deed, every warm welcome, and every moment of genuine companionship.

We sincerely hope to continue this meaningful friendship and look forward to developing new projects together in the near future, strengthening our bond and serving our community side by side.

We pray that this friendship remains strong and lasting for many years to come.

With sincere thanks and appreciation.

We are sincerely thankful for their warm hospitality and for the beautiful Indigenous songs and the powerful drum performance they prepared especially for that night. We closed the program by singing songs of hope and peace together, creating a deeply touching and unifying moment for everyone.

We are also deeply grateful to Ana Lagos, KW Multicultural Center- Community Engagement Coordinator, for standing with us and supporting us throughout Hope’s program over the past four months.

We look forward to the new year with excitement and are happy to continue creating and sharing programs together.

We also hosted a stand—representing who we are, sharing our programs, and connecting with neighbours. Heartfelt thanks to Mike Morrice and to everyone who stopped by—your visits, conversations, and encouragement meant a lot.

When we lace up, hold a sign, welcome questions, and show up for one another, we turn compassion into action. That’s love in motion. Love is a Verb. ?

Thanks to our incredible community, we’ve successfully wrapped up our Winter Coat Drive! With your generous support, we delivered 10 boxes of winter essentials to the Maplehurst Correctional Complex, helping to keep those in need warm this season.

A huge THANK YOU to all our donors, volunteers, and supporters who made this possible. Your kindness and generosity truly make a difference!

Let’s continue to show up for one another—because love is a verb.
