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.

Éblouis nos sentiers des feux estivaux de tes épiphanies,

Et accorde-nous, dans ta bienveillance, de savoir les discerner.

Tu es ici. Nous sommes ici.

Enveloppe-nous de ton amour.

Encircle us. Embrace us, God.

Visit us in small spaces.

Splash summertime epiphanies on our paths.

Grace us to see them.

Music-maker God, sing through our forests,

splash in our rivers, dance in our fields.

You are here. We are here.

Encircle us with your love. Amen.

The practice of kindness

One of the surprises in the parable of The Good Samaritan is that the person from whom it might have been least expected did a random act of kindness. We, too, can do a number of different things that can bring great joy to another person.

Look at the suggestions below, and choose some that you might do – individually, or as a group. 

Look for opportunities in the days and weeks to come to do random acts of kindness for family, friends, and strangers.
