This is a joint effort by the Coldwater/Eady United Church, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and St. Georges Anglican Church. In February, 2014 we added Friday to the days we take breakfast to the school and it is a joy to see all those smiling faces find us as we offer a glass of milk, warm Pita, French toast, cheese or yogurt. We also handed out pencils, sharpeners and erasers to add to the festivities on Valentines Day.
