FUNDSCRIP – Parish Council is trying a new type of Fundraiser which requires no work on your part.  It is simply a new way of shopping.  Instead of using cash, debit or credit cards when you do your weekly shopping, purchase a gift card from the parishThere are no hidden costs or fees.  You simply buy a gift card for groceries or gas, etc. in the amount you wish to purchase and use this at the store instead.
For every gift card the parish sells, a percentage will be given back to the church.  The percentages run from 2% up to 10% depending on the card.  These cards will give the parish extra funds without all the work.  An information package was passed out last week with the bulletins.  If you didn’t get one, please see Rick Morash or Linda Strachan and they can answer any questions you might have.

MISSION TO SEAFARERS – St. Andrew’s Ladies Group is collecting items for the shoebox campaign for the Mission to Seafarers.

CHILDREN’S SHOPPING DAY – We will be having our 3rd Annual Shopping Day for Children in the church hall on December 13th.  We are looking for donations of new items that can be sold for under $5.  If you are able to help us out that would be great.  All donations can be given to Bev Higgins.
