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 – eliminating the need to ask you to increase your
donations, make another casserole or sell anything. 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. Watch for more information
in the weeks ahead! FundScrip is coming soon!
COURTESY CAR
If you need a ride to
church during the month of June

Digital
Photo Directory St. Mark's Christian Education Committee
has undertaken the job of producing a digital photo directory.
This project will be concluded by the end of June and a PDF file will
be sent to all members who have email. A .jpg file of your photo will
be available if you wish to take it to be printed. During this
period, you may be getting a call from Bonnie, Camille, Joyce or
Natasha to arrange for a sitting. St. David’s Elders will be
calling to arrange for pictures and directory entries. Pictures will
be taken after the Church Service at St. Mark’s today. If you are
not available on these Sundays, another time can be arranged for your
convenience. Even if you are an occasional church attender, you are
still important to us and we want to include you. Please help us to
make this venture a success!
