ANNOUNCEMENTS for August 13, 2017- 10th Sunday after Pentecost

HEARTFELT THANKS:  Thank you to everyone who helped make the many events this past week at SUC a success!  We had a display of textiles in the sanctuary for the weekend, hosted a free pancake breakfast on Sunday morning that forged lots of new connections, and were the hosts of the GO! Project this past week, led by Bailey Fleming.  Thank you to all our volunteers for their time and generosity.  God is good!

SUMMER SERVICE AT ANDERSON SETTLEMENT:  There will be a service at Anderson Settlement United led by Kyle Wells on Sunday, August 20 at 2pm.  All are welcome!

BOOK, BAKE, AND JEWELLERY SALE:  On Saturday, September 9, from 8am-12pm, join us for a chance to pick up some fantastic finds at great prices for a good cause!

FOOD BANK SUNDAY: Sunday, August 20 is Food Bank Sunday for the month.  We are invited to bring our offerings of non-perishable food items or consider a monetary contribution to the food bank to help meet the immediate needs of our neighbours and friends, even as we continue to address the underlying injustices that lead to long-term food insecurity.  Of particular need this month are canned goods.

DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY: Friday afternoons 2-4pm during the summer, we explore together what Happiness really means. More information on the Open Sky Facebook Page.

GETTING IN TOUCH WITH REV.  LLOYD: Looking to get in touch with Lloyd?  He can be reached at spcminister@nb.aibn.com or by calling (506) 940-1151.

BEER AND HYMNS:  We have another fabulous night of Beer and Hymns coming up TONIGHT.  This event’s theme is “Pastoral Charge Favourites”.  Ducky’s Pub from 7-8pm on Sunday evenings:  August 13 & 27.  Come out and raise your voices (and glasses!).

LOOKING AHEAD:  On October 8, Margaret Tusz-King will be leading a service on a theme of food, hunger, and the work of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.  She is looking for volunteers interested in planning and/or participating in the service.
