BULLETIN BOARD
NEW NOTICES
BIBLE STUDY- The Bible Study Fellowship Group meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, 2 pm – 3:30 pm. The March meetings are the 5th and the 19th, as we continue our study of the Letter to the Ephesians. Rev Ron will be very pleased to see you!
INCOME TAX RECEIPTS – Income Tax Receipts are available in the mail slots in the church entryway. Please pick up yours today and if you can take a few extra to deliver that would be really appreciated. It helps save the church the expense of postage. Thank you.
STORM POLICY – The following procedures will be implemented whenever inclement weather threatens the cancellation of church services:
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.
