Evangel Hall Mission
representative briefs
missionary society
“An Open Door” was the theme
for the Women’s Missionary Society
of the Maitland Presbyterial spring
rally held on Monday, May 11 at
Melville Presbyterian Church in
Brussels.
Co-president Betty Johnston
constituted the meeting after a
delicious assortment of desserts was
shared by the Brussels WMS.
Margaret McInroy and Mary Douma
presented inspirational music and
Kathy Armstrong introduced the
speaker, Paula Aceto of Evangel
Hall in Toronto.
Aceto is the Senior Development
Officer of Evangel Hall Mission
(EHM), which over the last century
has used an open door of care and
compassion to help heal and restore
the lives of hundreds of thousands of
people. Presently the mission serves
100,000 meals a year, donates
15,000 pieces of clothing annually
and mentors 100 “at-risk” youth
every week. EHM offers housing for
110 homeless people, provides free
health and dental care for 1,200
individuals and has 26,000 hours of
volunteer service every year. Aceto
is responsible for fundraising and
planning events. There are 84
housing units in the new building
which opened in 2006, with youth
programs, women’s groups,
narcotics anonymous, and free
mental health and dental clinics.
“Out of the Cold” offers the
homeless a place for 30 people to
sleep indoors every Tuesday night
during the cold season.
A collection of urgently needed
items was given to EHM by the
women of the Maitland Presbyterial.
Mae Raynard thanked the speaker
and Mary Simmons reported from
Council that the two new “Yes we
can!” initiatives for 2015-2017 will
assist the Mayan people of
Guatemala through Presbyterian
World Service and Development and
will support Arise Ministry of East
Toronto. In that initiative Rev. Deb
Rapport, director of Arise Ministry,
helps women and children involved
in sex trafficking.
The Open Door theme continued
through a worship service led by
WMS members from Ripley. Karen
Webster expressed thanks to all
involved in the evening and Judy
Watts closed in prayer.
