We will be looking for good, clean used clothing, books, toys, household items, plants, shoes, purses, etc. We can no longer accept electronic items such as TV’s, computers and computer equipment, encyclopedias, and large furniture items, as we have no way of disposing of these if they do not sell. For more information, contact any member of the group.
STORM POLICY – The following procedures will be implemented whenever inclement weather threatens the cancellation of church services:
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.
The Rector will install an announcement on the parish telephone voice message system.
One warden will advise the radio station to make the announcement.
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.
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
CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS AND POSTAGE STAMPS – Thank you for your continuing support of two ACW projects: Postage stamps and Campbell’s soup labels.

The soup labels have to be complete and in one piece; that is, with no staples or Scotch tape.
