3.     Message from the FundScrip Team                                                                 Have you prepared your gift card order for May? If not, better do it soon. The deadline for May is this coming Sunday, May 16. We will have the cards in a few days and distribute them the following Sunday. You can purchase FundScrip gift cards to pay for your everyday shopping needs . . . groceries, gas for the car, hardware items, at the drug store or local restaurants. Every time you buy a gift card, the retailer makes a donation to St. Paul’s. There is no cost to you; you receive the full face value of the card. Did you know the cards are also usable across Canada so if you have family members or friends celebrating a birthday or other special occasion, why not send them a gift card to a favourite store? No need for you to go out shopping for a present or stand in line at the post office during the current pandemic. Gift cards are safe, convenient and always appreciated! Download an order form here http://www.stpaulsunited.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/POF_46258_NB_20210107105919197.pdf  or pick one up in the Narthex on Sunday or at the church office. Remember: Shopping is fundraising for St Paul’s!

5.     St. Paul’s Community of Faith Committee Letter to Congregation
Greetings St. Paul’s friends!
The Community Of Faith Committee is looking forward to speaking with you by phone, by Teams, or by a mail in survey. The choice is yours, and we are interested in hearing what you have to say in any way that you chose.

We have prepared questions that we believe will get to the heart of who we believe we are as friends and members of St. Paul’s United Church. For those of you who are comfortable using applications such as Teams or Zoom, simply let us know by responding to this email using this address derrick6g@gmail.com and put Teams in the subject line of your email. Once we have a list of the people interested, we will send out an invitation to you which will have a date and time.

For those of you who wish to respond to the questions by written response, put ‘written survey’ in the subject line and we will either email a questionnaire to you or send you a paper copy for you to write on and deliver it back to us.

For those of you who wish to speak by phone, simply respond to this email using this address derrick6g@gmail.com and put ‘phone’ in the subject line. Please include your phone number as well as the best time to call, and we will have one of our committee members reach out to you.

Once we have collected the survey information, we will put a summary of the answers together for the Board, and eventually it will be available to you. The goal of this exercise is for us all to get a better understanding of both who we are, as well as what we think we should be doing.

Please respond to this email using this address derrick6g@gmail.com and don’t forget to put your communication preference in the subject line. We look forward to hearing from you!

Derrick Grant, on behalf of Roger Miller, Erin Hayes, Janis Violette, Blaine Irving and Ann Krause
