MEN’S BREAKFAST – The year end Men’s Breakfast will be held on May 26th beginning at 9:00 am for fellowship.  Breakfast will be served around 10:00 am.  Three people are needed to help set up at 8:00 am and four people to help clean up after the breakfast.  Please contact Don Schwartz at 431-4047 or by email at puppadon@hotmail.com.

BLT BREAKFAST BUCKET – April’s contribution to the Beechville, Lakeside, Timberlea School Breakfast Program was in the amount of $150.85.  The last Breakfast Bucket Sunday until September will be on May 27th.  Continued thanks to our Parish for their ongoing support of this worthwhile and much appreciated Outreach Program.

WHO DOES WHAT – “WHO DOES WHAT at St. Andrew’s Parish?”  Please note a new wall hanging at the back on the left, as you are departing the church.  It is the Parish Structure 2012, a list of the selfless volunteers who keep our church ticking.  You will note that several parishioners do more than one job, and some do several.  Our appreciation goes out to these folks, without whose help our parish would not function.  If you are so inclined to add your name, please contact one of the wardens with your offer to help.  Thank you.

PRE-AUTHORIZED REMITTANCES (PAR) – For those parishioners who may be interested, we offer the option of supporting your church by way of pre-authorized remittances.  Once enrolled in the program, the amount selected by you is automatically transferred from your bank account on the 1st or15th of each month.  Your contribution is deposited to the St. Andrew’s bank account.  This program is administered by the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.  For further information please contact the Parish Treasurer, Bev Higgins at 876-7240 or email: bev.higgins@iwk.nshealth.ca.

ONGOING NOTICES

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.

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 – CHRISTMAS GREETINGS will soon be arriving in the mail.  Please remember to save the stamps that come on your cards.  A reminder:  There must be ¼ inch of envelope surrounding the stamp.

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.
