A collective of twenty-two churches in downtown Ottawa
The Centretown Churches Social Action Committee (CCSAC) is a collective of twenty-two churches in downtown Ottawa. CCSAC was started in 1967 by nine churches to respond to social needs in the Centretown area. CCSAC has undertaken many initiatives on behalf of people who are socially and economically disadvantaged in our community. Since 1978, CCSAC’s main project has been oversight of the Centretown Emergency Food Centre (CEFC). CCSAC’s mandate also includes advocacy for social justice, especially for issues relating to poverty.
Thank you to the folks from our CCSAC member church, St. Peter’s Lutheran for all their efforts for our beautiful city. Keep up the good work! Ottawa Lutherans ... See MoreSee Less

Enjoy a Spring Concert at our CCSAC member church, St. Peter’s Lutheran church.It's April. There's a soft tingling of rain, those showers that dampen our pavements and footsteps, but that ring with a familiar rhythm, hinting at some melody to come. A robin skirts across the backyard. Bated breath, almost time to sing.
Because flowers aren't the only thing that will result from April showers this May! There'll be music too, the sweet strains of spring!
Join Jonathan Bondoc and Sonya Sweeney on May 19th, 3 PM, at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, as they join the robin, the cardinal, the sparrow in making music to ring in the spring! They will be playing selections of Mozart, Debussy, Borodin and Liszt ("they" being Jon and Sonya, not the birds 😆). Admission is by donation. Please RSVP on our website: www.ottawalutherans.org/event-details/st-peters-concert-series-4
This will be the fourth and final installment of this season's St. Peter's Concert Series. We had a great run of talented performers, and we hope you can make it to this grand finale!

There is a camera pointed at it. 2 people were arrested but apparently not the culprit. I know the person that lives in that 2nd floor apartment (which filled with smoke as they slept). Such a shame ... but truth be told - every time it is stocked - it get's cleaned out by "greedy" folks ... Gees!
Oh no! Hope it is only a minor issue.
