Food Bank Network NOTE OF THANKS

We offer our sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who supported our Christmas in June Food Drive. Your much needed assistance will enable Holy Redeemer and Salvation Army Food Bank Outlets to help needy families during the summer months. We had a very successful drive; an increase in food donations (over a $35,000 value), an increase in financial contributions, and another great response to CBC’s chicken drive! This happened because of your support. Thank you again for Sharing your Blessing.

Help Needed

We need able and willing volunteers to help with the maintenance of our Church lawns this summer. Please contact John Brake (634 - 1504) if you are able to give him a hand. Many hands make light work!

Alpha

Our joint Anglican city-wide Alpha Course will begin on Thursday, September 18 at 6:00 pm and will run until December 4^th, 2008 at All Saints Church, Clarence Street. The opening session consists of a free celebration dinner followed by the showing of a video featuring renowned Anglican speaker Rev. Nicky Gumbel. Those attending the opening session will find out what the Alpha Course is all about and, if they decide to take the course, they can register there and then. Alpha, which has been held in thousands of Churches around the world, is a 10 week practical introduction to the Christian faith offering answers to some big questions. Each weekly session begins with an informal dinner, followed by a large group learning video and ends with small group discussion and interaction. To reserve your place at the Alpha Celebration Dinner, call the All Saints Church Office at 634-6963 or email allsaintschurch@nf.aibn.com. If you have already completed the course and are interested in being part of the leadership team, call Anne Keating at 785-2980 or email alphacornerbrook@yahoo.ca by August 1^st, 2008.

Baptism

Our next celebration of Holy Baptism will be on August 3^rd 2008. The preparation will take place at St. Michael’s June 22^nd and 29^th at 2 pm each Sunday.

Prayer List for the Sick

In an effort to keep our sick list as accurate, accessible, meaningful, and current as possible, we are placing a list in the porch that you may use to add names. This list will be replaced on the first Sunday of each month, and it will be necessary to add again any names that you wish to be refreshed on a regular basis. To respect the privacy of people, please ensure that you have permission before adding names to the list.

Special List

Do you know of anyone who will be celebrating either their 80^th birthday (or more) or their 50^th wedding anniversary (or more)? Please let Shirley Sutton (634-1070) know so that we can all share in extending them extra special greetings!

Ink Jet Cartridge Recycling

We are now a registered drop center for the thINK Food program to help raise funds for our Food bank Network. Used ink cartridges can be recycled to purchase food for need families. An inkjet cartridge can be worth a jar of peanut butter, a carton of milk or even a whole meal! Please deposit your used cartridges from ink jet printers only in the box in the porch.

Prayer Chain

We now have a Prayer Chain for emergency prayer requests. If you have a prayer emergency, please call one of the members of the chain - Rev. Gordon (632-5688), Donna Druggett (634-0172), Darrell Pike (632-2686), Marjorie Pike (632-2686), Sarah Skinner (639-1461), Enid Pevie (632-5418), Lloyd Sheppard (639-1447), Cynthia Parsons (634-1498), Terri Parrill (634-6714), Patti George (639-1511), Maureen Clarke (632-5726).
