BOARD

ANNUAL MEETING – The Annual Meeting of the Parish will be held on January 31, 2016 with a snow date of February 7, 2016. 
A light lunch will be provided by Council Members.

BREAKFAST BUCKET - Our BLT “Breakfast Bucket Sundays” will resume on January 31st.  Many thanks for all your generous contributions to this Outreach Program at St. Andrews during 2015.

FAMILY IN NEED – It was brought to our attention that a family’s main breadwinner was injured and is unable to work due to the injuries he sustained.  The mother is employed at a minimum wage job and has had to take some time off to look after her husband.  We were approached to provide some financial help for this family.  If you would like to donate to this worthwhile cause, please put your money in an envelope and mark it “Family in Need” and put it on the offering plate.  All moneys collected will be given directly to the family.  Any questions you may have can be directed to the Wardens, Rick Morash or Keith Fraser.  (contact information is on the back of the bulletin)

PANCAKE SUPPER – Our annual Pancake Supper will be held on February 9, 2016, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm.  A sign up poster has been hung at the back of the church for donations and workers.  Please help where you can.  All donations are greatly appreciated.

BAKED BEAN AND BROWN BREAD LUNCHEON – St. Andrew’s Ladies Group is planning a Baked Bean Luncheon to be held after church on February 28th.  There will be a Free Will Offering.  Please plan on attending and warm your hearts and souls with homemade baked beans.  There will be an alternate meal for the children.

LOOKING FOR READERS – If you would like to be part of the Reading Group for the reading of Scripture on Sunday mornings, please contact Wendy Wells at (902) 229-4172 or speak to her after church on Sunday.  This is a rewarding ministry and we are always looking for new readers.

NOTICES FOR BULLETINS – All notices for the bulletin should be sent to Wendy either by email or phone message by NO LATER than 5 PM Thursday evenings.  Anything that arrives after that time will not be printed until the following Sunday.  Thank you. Email and phone info are on back of bulletin cover.
