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.

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.
