ST NICHOLAS' BAZAAR ! Saturday, November 7, 2009
Our Annual St. Nicholas’ Bazaar will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2009, from 12:00 noon – 3:00 p.m. Over the next few months, the Bazaar Committee will provide information about what you can do to help make our Bazaar as big a success this year as it has been in the past. The funds raised from the Bazaar go directly to the operations of St. Nicholas’ Church. Those who have read our financial statements in the annual Vestry Report will recall that the Bazaar is the major fundraiser for the year and is necessary to help balance our budget. As well as being an important fundraiser, it is also an opportunity to open our doors to many people from the wider community and welcome them to our church. It’s a lot of fun too! - The 2009 Bazaar Committee

November 23 was Amazing Grace Sunday all across the Anglican Church of Canada, and St Nicholas participated in the "Amazing Grace Project". Thank you to Joshua Spencer, who played Amazing Grace on the saxophone before we all sang it together. Our video of the event will be sent in to the National Church, along with similar videos from all across the country. See the national Amazing Grace video website here ». Screening in Faith - The Diocese has recently updated its "Responsible Ministry: Screening in Faith" policy to require police checks of those who carry out high-risk ministries once every three years. We are pleased to advise that Pauline Green has agreed to become our Parish Screening Coordinator to assist us in complying with this important policy. Diocese webpage about screening here » Food Safety Training - If you are interested in being certified as a “Safe Food Handler”, please sign the sheet that is posted on the bulletin board. The course involves study of the Food Handler’s Manual, group discussion, and then a written examination for certification. See Deb Chapman for further details. |
