Songs of Hope – Christmas Carol Event
Dear brothers & sisters in Jesus,
Please see the image of the poster for our upcoming celebration of our Lord’s birth.
We want to sing through our streets of need (those streets we can walk through in 90 – 120 minutes, at least!), of the beauty of Jesus and His redeeming love, through the carols and hymns that honour His name.
Please consider joining with a group of us, in blessing our community with the real essence of Christmas. If you’re able to meet us at 320 Princess St on Dec. 19th at 4 pm, please RSVP to munya.rusere@gospelmission.ca
If you are unable to join us, would you please pray that our witness through Songs of Hope will lead to opportunity to engage with the people that populate the area. That it would cause folk to stop, consider and marvel at who Jesus was, is, and is still to come.
Thank you and God bless!
Volunteers – Serving with Purpose
✨ Introducing Serving with Purpose ✨
We’re excited to launch a new series that highlights the incredible work being done by volunteers at Union Gospel Mission! Each post will shine a light on the people who are making a difference and bringing hope to others through sharing the love of Christ. Stay tuned for inspiring stories and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the impact they’re creating!
Current Daily Needs
Each and every day we serve those who have no place to call their home, or are struggling to meet their daily needs. We see people who want their needs met come to our door 24/7. Now as the weather cools off especially overnight, there are consistent things that are requested. Can you help provide for these needs?
- Men’s & Women’s New Underwear
- Gloves / Mitts
- Winter Jackets
- Hoodies
Items can be dropped off at 320 Princess St. any day between 8 am to 9 pm.

Christmas Gift Bags
We are Collecting for our guests at our Community Christmas Dinner. Drop off is at 320 Princess by December 20th, or earlier if possible.
We would like to collect small gift bags for each person coming to our Community Christmas Dinner. We expect about 300 guests to come for our chapel service and delicious turkey dinner.
If you feel led to give a small gift to encourage and help with some of their basic needs, here are some suggested items to include in the gift bag:
- Please have all bags with generic items, able to be given to a man or woman. (This is to make a smoother process as the guests leave with their gift, and to ensure we don’t run out of specifically men’s or women’s gifts.)
- Basic hygiene items: things like tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, comb or brush, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner. (No mouthwash please)
- Any Christian literature (Bible, devotion book, etc.)
- A treat (chocolate, candy, etc.)
Please fill these gift bags with items as you feel led.
Thank you for your support and considering this request!
