St. Mark’s Special Events Group

The annual St. Mark’s Special Events (UCW) Bazaar was a great success again garnering a total profit of $1,700. Many thanks to all who baked, contributed homemade preserves, sewed, created crafts, who set up, served, and worked in the kitchen and on the cash. This event would not be possible without the help of all of you!

Since then we have been sponsors for the 30-hour Famine, which was held at St. Mark’s, We also supported the Brunswick Street Mission, Port Hawkesbury Food Bank, Strait Area Seasonal Services and Leeside Transitional Home. We send cards to sick and shut-in people in our congregation. If you hear of anyone who is sick or shut-in, please notify Dorothy MacAskill and she will send a card.

On March 26th we catered for John Chisholm’s 90th birthday, which was celebrated at the Evergreen Club. We continue to provide lunches for funerals, the last one being for the Nicole King Funeral in April.
