Joyful Giving 2020
All parishioners should have received their Joyful Giving 2020 letter and forms in person or by mail. We encourage you to review this carefully and to provide information on your Time, Talent and Treasure asap to allow proper planning for the year ahead. Remember this is part of an ongoing campaign to help our parish grow into the next decade. We are always open to your thoughts and abilities to help make this happen. Your co-chairs Dave Thomson and Dick Ridley and Reverend Christine.
2019 Financial
As our financial year end approaches, our parish is projected to have a shortfall of some $20,000 for church operations. We do have reserve money in our bank account that is held for emergencies and for operations and this can be used to assist if necessary. At this time of Christmas giving and sharing, we trust that those who are able to, will offer extra givings this December to help out our wonderful parish. Your Wardens Dave Thomson and Dick Ridley.
Exploring Faith and Church
Begin the new decade by exploring or re-exploring your Christian faith. On Wed. Feb 5 at 1:30pm, we will have an initial meeting to bring forward questions and/or areas of interest to explore together through Lent. Contact Christine for more information.
