Sunday 23rd January 11.30am - Parish Town Hall Meeting
We will be hosting a meeting to find out a little more from members of the parish about their hopes for the next chapter in the story of St Helen's. The conversations will help towards building an honest Parish Profile.
We will serve a simple soup lunch and then the meeting will follow. We hope that it will conclude around 1.30pm. Please let other members know. The more people who contribute the better the conversation!

Prayers of the People - New volunteers needed
Before Christmas the need for more volunteers to lead the Prayers of the people has been canvassed during Sunday worship. If this is something you may be interested in learning more about, without having to commit, please let Philippa know (preferably by email as she has a terrible memory). An information/training session will be scheduled for February if there is sufficient interest.
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
