ST. DAVID’S ANNOUNCEMENTS


A  Special Committee consisting of Julia MacKinnon, Margaret Ashford and Yvonne Fox was established at the May 19th Official Board meeting to come up with ideas to raise a significant amount of money for the Building Fund. This is necessary to cover the cost of material and supplies for the work completed since September in the hall basement. Money will be required also to finish the work.  Donations to the Building Fund would be very much appreciated in the meantime.

St. David’s Lay Readers:

July 7- Kenzie Mac Lean
July 14 – Margie Mac Intyre
July 21 – Yvonne Fox
July 28 – Katie Downard

Spring Cleaning at  St. David’s Church will be on Friday, July 5th at 9 am.

Hall Cleaners for June are Susan Fox and Sally Fox.

ST. MARK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS


FundScrip is a gift card fundraising program that St. Mark’s is going to be using. It’s a great way to raise money from the purchases we are already making and it eliminates the need to ask you to increase your donations. The program does not ask anyone to change what they buy, where they buy it, or how much they spend. 

How does it work? Supporters of the church pay for their everyday expenses with gift cards bought through FundScrip, and a percentage of the gift cards purchased is donated to the church. FundScrip will begin in September and two orders per month are planned. Order forms and envelopes will be available beginning in August and detailed information about ordering your gift cards will be available at that time. If you have any questions please contact Patsy Brander by phone at 625-1062 or e-mail cbrander@ns.sympatico.ca or Bonnie Dawson by phone at 625-3838 or e-mail b.dawson@ns.sympatico.ca.

St. Mark’s Lay Readers for August:

August 4th – Barbara Mac Intyre
August 11th – Judy Castle
August 18th – Irene Mac Isaac
August 25th – Malcolm Matheson
