COUNTRY JAMBOREE – The last Country Jamboree for the summer will be held on Sunday, June 5th. Doors open at 6:00 pm and the show starts at 7:00 pm. Special guests include Ray Hill from Seaside FM radio, Allie McNeil and Buddy Boutilier, Bob Miller and much more. Come out and enjoy an evening of fellowship and song!
COUNCIL RETREAT – A reminder to all that the Parish Council Retreat will take place on Saturday, June 11, 2011, at 9:30 am at the church. Although it is called a “Council Retreat”, it is open to all members of St. Andrew’s. Please plan to attend if you are able. The retreat agenda includes many items of interest for discussion and decision. It is hoped to make policy, agree on a management system for church affairs and to discuss committee responsibilities, administration procedures, remunerations, filing and records keeping, and other such topics. Hot drinks will be available, but attendees are asked to bring a brown bag lunch, as it is expected that the meeting will extend beyond noon. Any questions can be directed to the Wardens, Rick Orlando or Renee Fraser.
BIBLE STUDY GROUPS – The two Bible Study Fellowship Groups will meet on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Tuesdays, beginning in September: the afternoon group 2 pm – 3:30 pm; the evening group 7 pm – 8:30 pm; on September 6 and 20. Our focus of study will be The Acts of the Apostles – the thrilling story of the development and growth of the Early Church, guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit! Rev. Ron will be very pleased to see you!
SIDES PERSONS – We are looking for people to volunteer as sides persons. A sides person hands out the books and bulletins and greets the people as they arrive for church. They take up the offertory and after church; they stay and count the offering. If this is a job you would like to do, please contact Brenda Morash at 876-2389. The more volunteers we have the fewer times your name will appear on the roster.
CRAFTER’S MARKET – On Saturday, October 29th, the Ways and Means Committee will be having a Crafter’s Market. Anyone who would like to rent a table to sell their crafts, please contact Darlene at 876-1795 (darlenemartell@eastlink.ca) or Jo-Anne at 443-0633 (joian@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
PWRDF; There are memorial cards for the Primates Fund on the table at the back of the church. They are self explanatory and a worthwhile way of remembering friends or relatives as this fund assists people around the world.
CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS AND POSTAGE STAMPS -Thank you to those who continue to drop off labels and stamps. To those who have not yet contributed: the labels must be complete (with no Scotch tape or staples), and stamps need to have a least ¼” of envelope around them. We have recently received many stamps from foreign countries – the US, UK, Australia, etc. – which are most welcome; please keep them coming. Sale of the stamps supports the Bible Society, while the soup labels provide amenities for Landmark East in the Valley. Our stamps and labels are taken to the ACW office and they distribute them.
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.
