FIRESIDE CHATS WITH ROBIN

Our new Rector has set us a task. Father Robin has asked that some parishioners consider hosting a “Fireside Chat” in their homes. These can take place daytime or evening, but are to be kept very simple.If you are interested in hosting one of these chats, or would like to sign up, please let one of the Wardens know or leave a message in the office.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER SERVICE 2023

The annual WORLD DAY OF PRAYER SERVICE 2023 will take place at St. Helen's on Friday, March 3, at 1pm.  Our ACW is pleased to host this ecumenical service as we focus on the people of TAIWAN and the theme, 'I Have Heard About Your Faith.'  The offering will be forwarded to WICC (Women's Inter-Church Council of Canada) to support their annual social justice grants.  All are welcome.  

DIOCESAN ACW BALES 

The outreach work of the Diocesan ACW continues.  Each Monday morning women from various parishes, including ours, gather to sort clothing donations.  These and other household items are then prepared for shipment to Northern BC and Yukon parishes.  A blanket (double/queen/king size) forms the outer 'wrapper' of these 40 pound bundles.  At the moment, BLANKETS or APHGANS (loosely crocheted sofa/bed covers) are DESPERATELY NEEDED.   Please consider donating any that you no longer need.  They will serve two purposes - one for shipping and secondly to keep someone else 'warm & cozy.'  Your support is most appreciated.  Judy Nicholson will gladly receive and deliver all donations.  

Prayer Requests to the Prayer Circle – please be in touch with Judy Nicholson who will receive and forward your prayer requests to the prayer circle.  If you do not have her contact details, please send an email to the office email address and it will be passed on to her for distribution.  

Altar Flowers – Please consider providing for the flowers placed on the Altar to the glory of God, in celebration, in thanksgiving, or in memory of loved ones.  The cost is usually in the $40 - $50 range. Contact Heather Herd for details.  You may make your donation by cheque made out to St. Helen's Anglican Church and send it in the mail or leave it in the offering plate on a Sunday or by Interac e-Transfer. The email address to transfer electronically is: giving2sthelen@gmail.com
