BULLETIN BOARD

PWRDF – The PWRDF is responding to the recent earthquake in Nepal with an initial grant of $20,000.  Additional donations to the PWRDF between April 25th and May 25th for the earthquake relief efforts will be matched, dollar for dollar, by the Government of Canada.  This money will be used to provide humanitarian relief in the wake of this catastrophe.  If you wish to make a donation to the PWRDF, please use an envelope, mark it “Nepal Earthquake” and place in on the offering plate.  PWRDF will continue to be in contact with the ACT Alliance offices in Kathmandu who will determine what the greatest needs are.  At the present time food, water, shelter and medical supplies are of the utmost importance.  Thank you.

BLT BREAKFAST BUCKET – Thank you for your April contributions to the BLT Breakfast Bucket.  The amount delivered to the school was $163.00. They were very appreciative of your generosity here at St. Andrew’s.  The next “Bucket Sunday” will be held on May 31st at which time we will welcome representatives from the BLT Breakfast Program at the 10:30 am worship service.

SUNDAY SCHOOL – The Sunday School closing will take place on June 7th, at Jerry Lawrence Park in Lewis Lake.  There will be an open air service beginning at 10:30 am with a barbeque and games to follow.  Please bring a lawn chair to sit on.  If it rains everything will be held at the church.  Questions can be directed to your Sunday School Teachers: Heather, Kim, Joanne, Natasha.

THINK TANK COMMITTEE – All groups and committees in the church are being asked to do a fund raiser to help with the deficit.  It could be a luncheon after church, or a contest to see who makes the best chili, or a bake sale, etc.  Use you imagination.  When your group decides on something, please let Rev. Mark know the date you have chosen ant the event you will be doing.

OUTREACH – Rev Marilyn Hamlin is coordinating all the outreach St. Andrew’s Church does in our community and beyond.  If there is anyone or any group in the church doing outreach that we aren’t aware of, please let Rev. Marilyn know.
