Christmas Bazaar -Don’t forget our Christmas Bazaar will be held on Nov 26th.  Preparations begin long before which makes it now time! With all the wonderful fruits and vegetables in season please think of the pantry stall.  Jams, jellies, pickles, relishes, chutneys etc. are all needed and welcomed.  If you have jars or need jars speak to Jacquie Stinson (604-517-4661).  

Hospitality Ministry - We are changing the format of coffee hour.  Our coffee teams will continue to set up, serve and clear up but we are asking other parishioners to sign up to bring goodies for each Sunday.  A list will be circulated in the hall at coffee hour which will give all an opportunity to participate.  If you miss out on this list, there will be another put out every 6 or 7 weeks.  

Sunday Ministry Rotas –We would like to strengthen our Sunday Ministry teams.  Are you interested in reading a lesson on Sunday, becoming a server, helping with the coffee ministry, helping to greet people at the door, please speak with Marion O’Byrne. Training and support will be offered for each of these ministries.  

Confirmation and Receiving into the Anglican Communion Bishop Melissa will be with us on December 18th. We are planning to have a confirmation service if there are people.  At this time, we can also receive into the Anglican Church those who are baptized and grew up in another church but who would now like to be received into the Anglican Church.  Please speak with the rector, Father Steve, if you would like to be confirmed or received into the Anglican Church.  

ACW SW Fraser Area Meeting:  On Tuesday, November 15, our ACW will host and welcome the Diocesan ACW Board, the Rev. Sue Foley-Currie, and ACW members from Surrey, Langley, and Delta.  They are pleased to have The Most Rev’d. Archbishop Douglas Hambidge as guest speaker.
