May

May is Manse Month for the Haliburton Pastoral Charge. The upkeep of the manse is the responsibility of all churches in the charge, and each year in May, the Manse Committee asks church members to prayerfully consider contributing to the manse account to support repairs. This is also the monthly mission for Haliburton UC.
