A group of 20 children from Chinese Scarborough Baptist Church visited Terrace to minister to the residents. They presented a one-hour program that featured music, games, testimonies, and prayers. We would like to express our gratitude to Rev. Amy Yu, Pastor of The Next Generation Ministry at SCBC, for blessing us with her ministry.

Nothing beats cool lemonade, cookies, and good company! At the Lemonade Social, we enjoyed snacks, had great conversations, and played a fun game called Name That Cake together.

For those who didn’t join, here’s a question: What type of cake does a mouse eat?

We came together for a special evening at the Memorial Garden to unveil and dedicate the plaque honouring the names of our loved ones who have passed. Our garden is not just a peaceful spot to relax; it is a meaningful place that keeps the memory of those we cherish alive.

The stone in the garden shows the names of people whose families chose to leave a lasting legacy. If you want to add your loved one’s name to the next plaque, please check out our donation page for details: https://shepherdvillage.org/donate/memorial-garden-project-donation/

On Saturday, we took a fun trip to St. Lawrence Market with our grocery lists in hand and a hunger for fresh, delicious food 🍎🥦🍞. We were joined by our incredible volunteers, a kind and friendly bus driver, and our President & CEO Wendy Beckles. We laughed, talked, and had a great time reminiscing about how much the market has changed and all the goodies we picked up.
