PARISH AGM – The 2012 AGM is delayed a few weeks this year until March 3, 2013, to accommodate Rev Mike who is away on Sabbatical.  The two wardens, and all council members and committee chairs whose term would have ended in January will be asked to carry on in their positions until March 3rd.  St. Andrew’s is in need of parishioners to fill in behind retiring members, both on council and as chairs of Committees.  Please find a way to support your church and assist with these duties, so that the same people do not have to fill these positions year after year.  Submit your name for consideration to one of the wardens for voting at the AGM…..Thank you.

*CHURCH CALENDARS*Church calendars have been reduced to $3.50 each.  If you haven’t purchased yours yet, please take advantage of this sale offer! There are only a few left.  Please see Wendy any Sunday after Church or call 443-4630 and leave a message

STORM POLICY – The following procedures will be implemented whenever inclement weather threatens the cancellation of church services:

  1. The Rector will call the wardens early morning to discuss the situation.  If all agree to cancel services, the Rector and wardens will act as follows.
  2. The Rector will install an announcement on the parish telephone voice message system.
  3. One warden will advise the radio station to make the announcement.
  4. The other warden will put the message on the parish web site.

Common sense will prevail, and parishioners are advised not to venture out on dangerous roads.  If it is not completely obvious that services would be cancelled, then parishioners can employ any or all of the above noted methods to discover whether or not services are cancelled.
*This policy was approved by council on March 8, 2012.

SCENT SENSITIVITY:  Just a reminder that NO SCENTS make GOOD SENSE!  Please be considerate of those in our congregation who have allergies and asthma.  Thank you.

ONGOING NOTICES

PWRDF – The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund acts on behalf of the Anglican Church of Canada to provide people around the globe with the ways and means to “help them help themselves”. Information and envelopes are available at the back of the church should you wish to contribute to this worthy ministry.

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.
