5. Our annual meeting will take place on March 28th at 1:00 p.m. by Zoom. We will circulate the Agenda and the financial statements prior to the meeting.
We contemplated an in-person meeting this year but it’s still too soon for many of our members to attend public functions, and a “hybrid” meeting (in person and online) is tricky to run and often unsatisfactory for all involved. Hopefully a year from now we can gather for the next annual meeting. We should have cake!
Looking forward to seeing everyone virtually!
Jane on behalf of the Board
6. Please bring your Rummage sale goods into the church as soon as you can. Our target date for gathering goods is Monday, March 15th-Thursday March 18th at the latest. The UCW are participating in a fundraiser with Value Village called FUNDrive. Think of it as a Rummage Sale without all the work. We are collecting clothes, accessories, household textiles (blankets, sheets, towels, tablecloths, curtains), small household goods, kitchen items, decorations, knick-knacks, toys and games, small electronics, etc. No large appliances or furniture please. So ask your family, friends and neighbours. This is the perfect time of year to declutter. If it works out well, we might do it again in the Fall. Any questions, Please call Eric at the Church 458-1183 Thank you.
7. Preaching this week is Kimberley Douglass
8. Throughout this Holy season, we invite you to follow along on our Facebook and Instagram pages, where we will be sharing a daily scripture, reflection, or small practice to help us on our journey through this time of reflection and preparation.

9. St. Paul’s Community of Faith Committee has been meeting regularly since we began in the early spring of 2020. The committee consists of Janis Violette, Ann Krause, Blaine Irving, Erin Hayes, Roger Miller, and Derrick Grant.
The committee is tasked with developing a profile of St Paul’s, and we need your input. In the near future, we will be reaching out to you in order to find out your thoughts on our Church. We plan to do this both with technology like Zoom, and also in more traditional ways.
We look forward to meeting you all in the near future!
