Council of the North Christmas Cards

At the suggestion of a parishioner, the Anglican eStore is producing Christmas cards for purchase this year, where proceeds will go toward supporting ministries in the Council of the North. Two design options are available and can be ordered as a set of 12 for either design, or a set of 12 with 6 of each design. Each set of cards is printed on recycled paper, and with 13 envelopes. Each card features a Christmas greeting inside, along with a Bible verse to tie into the photo on the front of the card.

To order, visit anglican.ca/cn/christmascards
