London Community Chaplaincy
Volunteer Profile:
Betty Poole has been a faithful volunteer at the Chaplaincy for decades. We have been blessed by her leadership as Chair of the Board for the past 10 years. Throughout these years, Betty could be found in a number of places-driving residents to the food bank, helping a child during an art class, serving a meal in youth program, as well as skillfully chairing all our meetings. A humble, gifted and faithful servant, we want to thank Betty for her many years of service and her example of love and compassion to others. While we will miss Betty, we are grateful for all her investment and her continued willingness to be part of the Chaplaincy in new ways. Thank you Betty-you are a true blessing. (From the Spring 2019 Chaplaincy Newsletter).
Congratulations, Betty, on also receiving the Helen Keller Fellowship Award presented by the Lambeth Lions this past winter.

FundScrip Program
FundScrip is a fundraising program here at the Lambeth United. It encompasses the purchase of gift cards for major retailers and a rebate is paid back to the church. In a nutshell, by using pre-bought gift cards for some of your regular purchases, the program will give money back to Lambeth United Church! How effective is FundScrip? Collectively we have earned $15,206.57 since we joined the program. We thank everyone who has participated and recognize the Mayo, Sullivan, Polgar, King/LUC and Pickering families who have each topped the $1,000.00 figure that their collective 300+ orders have earned totalling just over $6,808.40. Every card helps – think of those ‘prayer miles’ you are earning.
There are two order forms available:
- Short order form (only list the most popular retailers)
- Long order form (lists all participating retailers)fvg
