Cruise Ship Visitors Roster St. Paul’s unique architecture and central location attract many visitors who wander up from the cruise ships. In order to have the church open, we need a volunteer host to be present. All it takes is a welcoming attitude and a few hours; there are pamphlets and resources to answer most questions. Interested? Contact Sandy at 393-6994 or sandy99.anderson@gmail.com
Good Samaritan Casseroles needed When you are baking your next casserole, would you consider making a little more to freeze in 2lb or 3lb foil take-out containers? These casseroles need to be labeled (what type of casserole, ingredients), and can be brought to the Parish Hall during office hours. Good Samaritan casseroles will be distributed by the clergy to people in need. If you have any questions, contact Madonna at 892-1691.

Contact Carol Macdonald if interested (628-1029). 2010 Legacy Fund Can you picture a church without Lay People? The 2010 Committee hopes to leave as a gift an Endowment Fund which will help Lay People in developing their ministries by attending courses which are provided, or simply attending other programs of interest on parish related matters. At this moment there are funds to help the Clergy, but none specifically for Lay People. What better way to express our thanks and appreciation to our dedicated Lay People than to help them further their ministries which will benefit us all. We hope you will join us in this endeavour by your contribution. Envelopes are available at the back of the church today. |
PARISH COUNCIL CORNER: Penny Parade & Community Tired of lugging around those useless old pennies? They cost more than they’re worth! Well, we will take them off your hands, out of your pockets, from those dust collecting jars on your chest-of-drawers. Bring them in and give them to your church and we will roll them and trade them in for actual money. Nothing could make more cents! And if you really, really want we’ll take your nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies and toonies! Some of the things that define community are our willingness to celebrate milestones and our ability to support one another in times of difficulty. So, Parish Council would like to start sending out a Parish email every time someone in our community dies, so that the rest of us will know and can pray for their family. We would like to send out emails when someone connected to St. Paul’s dies, but who might not actually be a member (like a parent of a parishioner). The sole purpose is to increase our ability to be supportive of one another. But, this will only work if you let us know about these deaths. It’s easy enough for us to send out emails for people whose funerals are here, but the one that aren’t we will need to know from you. Please help us with this ministry and keep your fellow parishioners’ in-the-loop.
