Among other things the funds have been used to help pur- chase the electric organ; to pur- chase manse furniture in co-op- eration with the other two churches on the pastoral charge; and to set up a savings account for the purchase of our own 'manse in the foreseeable future. The group has enjoyed Bible Study, guest speakers, films, and a study of current living conditions and what we can de to improve them both at home and throughout the world. One of its main fund-raising projects is the annual Fowl Sup- per which is held each fall with great success, both financially and as an opportunity for fellow- ship and close co-operation among its members.
