This Week at St. Andrew’s

Tues. Jan 9: Executive meeting, 7 pm
Thurs. Jan. 11: EfM, 12:30 pm

Announcements

New Parish Council Members
New Parish council members are needed! If you’re interested in being involved in parish governance for a two (2) year term and/or you know someone who would be great, please speak with one of the Wardens or with Christine.

Annual Reports for 2017 are DUE Tues. January 16 th ! Please submit the report for which you are responsible to Kate at standrw1@telus.net

Reflecting on Baptism
On the morning of Saturday, January 6 we will gather to reflect on baptism and faith formation in children with both children stories and adult conversation. To join in and/or to help with childcare that morning, please contact Christine.

Finance update
St. Andrew’s operating deficit to the end of November, 2017 is -$13 060.  Our projected operating budget for the same period is -$13 765.  We look forward to the generosity of our parishioners to help reduce the deficit by year end.

Coffee Outcome for the Drop Inn Centre
Thank you to all who contributed to the 2017  Coffee Blitz for the DI.  The grand total this year was 222 lbs.  Glen, the kitchen manager, asked me to make sure I thanked the congregation and also our priest, Christine.  He was standing on the stairs of the loading dock waving good bye as we pulled away!  Heartfelt thanks from myself and also from the “Lunch Bunch” who so faithfully serve each month.  Carole T.

Church Calendars are here!
Feedback from last year’s major re-design has been incorporated into the 2018 calendars available now! Cost remains $5.00. Please see or contact Pat Kover or Adeline Ridley to buy yours today!

Compost Collection at St. Andrew’s
Beginning this week, St. Andrew’s has begun collecting compostable materials in the downstairs and upstairs kitchens. The program will help us keep food and yard waste out of the landfill. It also complies with The City of Calgary’s Waste & Recycling Bylaw that requires onsite diversion of food and yard waste at all businesses and organizations. There are posters in the kitchens describing how to sort the various types of trash we produce on Sundays and throughout the week. Thanks for your help keeping St. Andrew’s clean!

Women’s Group Update
Rosemary Christmas has retired as our kitchen supply coordinator. She has looked after our kitchen supplies for many years and we thank her very much for her dedication to this task. What would we do if we ran out of coffee or tea on Sunday morning? We don’t want to think of that possibility so would like a volunteer (or possibly a couple) to take over monitoring and purchasing kitchen supplies. All expenses are reimbursed from the coffee donations. Please speak to Mary Ellen 403-816-6914 or e-mail wells.game@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer.
