VETERANS’ HOUSE, the Andy Carswell Building, is a housing community for veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The facility will provide supportive housing for 40 veterans. This latest Multifaith Housing Initiative (MHI) project is partnering with a number of agencies to offer mental health and addiction services, gathering spaces (including a communal kitchen and outdoor barbecue facilities), an indoor gym, and a dog park for service dogs.

MHI is four-fifths of the way to completing the fundraising for Veterans’ House, however there still remains 2.3 million dollars to finish the project. SOSA has set a goal of $8000 to support Veterans’ House. To donate, please contact the church office at (613) 820-8103 or office@bcuc.org.

The Church Board would like to create a new Book of Memories in 2020. We would like to receive a memory, story, photo with captions, from you.

To assist you in helping us, perhaps you can answer questions like this: What does BCUC mean to you? What effect did Bells Corners United Church have on your life? Who do you remember from the Church and why? What event at the church meant something to you?

Email your “memories” to Bob Ferguson, editor, via office@bcuc.org or write them out and bring or send them to the church office before April 5, 2020.

This is a project for the whole church, children, youth, adults. We hope you will take a part!
