COMMUNITY NEWS

UCW SOUP CHALLENGE

Thank you to all who participated in the Soup Challenge last month. You can send your funds online here (select "Give to UCW Soup Fund" from the drop-down menu) or see Gail by the Welcome Table to donate with cash, cheque or debit/credit card.

Memorial poinsettias are a Christmas tradition at St. Andrew’s.

To give a poinsettia in memory of a loved one, send their name and your donation by December 8, using the DONATE NOW button on our website www.saintandrewshfx.ca (select "Give to Poinsettia Fund" in the drop-down menu). Be sure to include your name and the name of the person you wish to honour. There are also special offering envelopes for them at the welcome table and Gail will have the Square terminal if you would prefer to donate by card.

Poinsettias have been placed in the Sanctuary for Sunday Services and concerts during Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. Thank you to Margie MacKay for picking up the poinsettias again this year!

Next Sunday, December 15 we will have our annual UCW Cookie Sale in support of the Brunswick Street Mission. Enjoy some delicious cookies for the holidays. Cookies are $8 a dozen. Correct change would be appreciated.

Donations of cookies will be most welcome. For information please contact Ruth here. Thank you!

Our Social Justice Committee will also have special items for sale to support people in Palestine and Guatemala.

Both sales will be set up in the church sanctuary before and after the service.

Oh how we all enjoy the warmth and fellowship around the coffee table on a Sunday morning but your tiny coffee group is struggling to make it happen. We now have only 2 regular volunteers and one monthly. It would be nice for your coffee team to have a break once in awhile. Don't let the task scare you off, with a little bit of training you too could be a part of our team. We are having another training session in the kitchen after church on Dec 1st. Come and see how it's done. If you are able to help out with set up and or clean up, we encourage you to attend this short session or better yet, come to the kitchen at 9:30 any Sunday and get hands on training and help out your loyal coffee committee. We would love to have a few more hands to share the work. (No heavy lifting required, all supplies are wheeled down and up via the elevator.)
