BULLETIN BOARD
CHRISTMAS PARTY LUNCH – Please join us downstairs after the service for a Christmas Party in honor of the children. Everyone is welcome!
CHILDREN’S SHOPPING EVENT – Thank you to everyone who generously contributed merchandise, time and talent to the Children’s Shopping Event. Your kindness ensured a successful event that was enjoyed by many children in our community!
MEMORIAL ANGEL TREE – The Spiritual Development Committee will be selling memorial angels again this year for $5 each. The Angel Tree will be set up at the back of the church on the first Sunday in Advent so you can hang your angels. For more information please contact Rev Marilyn or one of the Wardens.
FUNDSCRIP – Parish Council is trying a new type of Fundraiser which requires no work on your part. It is simply a new way of shopping. Instead of using cash, debit or credit cards when you do your weekly shopping, purchase a gift card from the parish. There are no hidden costs or fees. You simply buy a gift card for groceries or gas, etc. in the amount you wish to purchase and use this at the store instead.
For every gift card the parish sells, a percentage will be given back to the church. The percentages run from 2% up to 10% depending on the card. These cards will give the parish extra funds without all the work. An information package was passed out last week with the bulletins. If you didn’t get one, please see Rick Morash or Linda Strachan and they can answer any questions you might have.
PARISH WEBSITE – Our parish website is being updated after a long period of being inactive. We are very interested in what groups or other things you would like to see included there. Any ideas are very welcome! Please let the rector know by email and we will see what we can do! markpretty63@icloud.com

If you are interested in this position please speak to Erica and she will fill you in on what it entails. Erica will train you along with our Treasurer, Bev Higgins. Please speak to one of the Wardens if you think this job is for you!
ANNUAL MEETING – The Parish Annual Meeting will be held on February 1, 2015 following the 10:30 am service. (storm date will be February 8th). All Annual Reports must be given to the Wardens by January 11, 2015.
