Angel Rae has left us on her spiritual journey. She’s gone to join her parents (Alex and Audrey), brother Elijah and, all famiily loved ones.
We accept donations all year long! :)
All donations are greatly appreciated all year round.
It is the Holiday season during which feelings of hopelessness, despair and increased need often are present. The pressure to provide a jolly occasion with cheer and celebration when another long, difficult year lags behind us and the future uncertainties loom in the New Year ahead is often inescapable.
If you want to pledge and donate to the POHIPC, please consider a smaller monthly donation of even $10/month as opposed to a one-time holiday donation. Every dollar helps all year long!
We can accept your donations at this email:
Thank you!

Place of Hope youth at Uplift!

Twelve youth and three leaders went to the Uplift conference in July. Outstanding representation from Place of Hope.

Legacy donation from Norval Presbyterian Church
Sad news for our friends at Norval Presbyterian Church in Ontario. The church has dissolved.
NPC has supported Place of Hope Church (and WICM before that) with donations of many types, including sending a youth mission group in 2012. Many longterm heartfelt relationships were formed.
Many thanks to Norval Pres Church for directing a legacy donation to Place of Hope as part of its divestments.
Godspeed to the good people who served at NPC, which was formed in 1838 and made the community a better place for 186 years.
