REMINDERS – Parishioners are reminded to regularly check their mail boxes throughout the year; currently there are several who have not yet picked up their Easter Letters.  Also, there is a suggestion box in the entry foyer for anyone who wishes to submit a suggestion regarding any aspect of the operation of the parish.  You may sign your name or if you prefer, you can submit an anonymous suggestion.

DIOCESAN TIMES – As Diocesan Times Correspondent, I am updating mailing addresses for those who currently receive a copy of this church paper.  If there is anyone in the congregation, who is not receiving the Diocesan Times and would like to be added to the mailing list, please let me know.  The only requirement for being added is that you are a regular giver.  Also, if anyone who now receives it, would like it discontinued you can also let me know.  Phone Wendy at 443-4630 or email: wendy.wells@ns.sympatico.ca.

ONGOING NOTICES

RECTOR’S OFFICE MEMORIALS – Memorial donations towards the construction costs of the Rector’s office are now being received.  Donations in the amount of $110.00 ($100 plus $10 engraving) will allow contributors to place a memorial on a plaque to be located outside the office.  There are twenty-four spaces for memorials.  Once all spaces have been filled we will dedicate the office in memory of those identified on the plaque.  If you wish to make a donation, please see either Rev. Mike or Rev. Judie.  Thank you for your generosity

CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS AND POSTAGE STAMPS – Thank you for your continuing support of two ACW projects:  Postage stamps and Campbell’s soup labels.  The requirement for stamps have been changed:  They no longer have to have ¼” margin of envelope around them; simply tear most of the envelope away, being careful not to tear the stamp.  The soup labels have to be complete and in one piece; that is, with no staples or Scotch tape.

FOOD BANK – The St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Food Bank is always in need of canned fruit, canned meat, pasta, peanut butter, jam, crackers and pudding.  They are currently running short on the following food items:  boxes of cereal, cookies, and jello. Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated.
