GAETZ GLEANING AND CANNING GROUP 2025 Update

Hi to all of our wonderful friends at Gaetz United Church. Another season is starting.

If anyone knows of a source of fruit or vegetables (fresh or frozen) that we could glean please let us know. Bryon Wright at 403-342-6482 or email [email protected] We are very short of canning jars again as we almost used them all up last season. So if you have any to return from last year please drop them off at the church. **We are very short of the 250ml size that we use for jams** We only want 250 ml and 500 ml jars with the 2 part lids.

If anyone would like to help financially, donations to Gaetz United Church toward canning supplies (canning lids, certo, sugar, etc) would be appreciated. Also if anyone wants to join this group to help with the gleaning and canning please let us know so you can be added to our email group. Thanks everyone for your help. 

UPDATING our PHOTO DIRECTORY! – Coordinators needed

We have booked a photographer who will be here from September 30th through October 4th (to take pictures for an updated PHOTO DIRECTORY for Gaetz Memorial United Church). We are seeking someone to help with coordinating the bookings for sitting times and to support the photographer over these few days. The photographer offers an online platform through which many can self schedule and manage their sitting timeslot, but there will be some who will require assistance with this. Please reach out to the Church office if you are able to fill this role.
