WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS

FOOD CUPBOARD

As we begin a new year, we give thanks for the generosity that continues to sustain our food cupboard. Your gifts help provide nourishment, dignity, and reassurance to neighbours in our community who are facing difficult circumstances. The need for food support remains great. Many who come to the food cupboard are single parents, seniors living alone, newcomers, and others who never expected to find themselves asking for help. Your continued generosity makes a meaningful difference in their lives.

 Donations of non-perishable food items are always welcome.

 A list of our most-needed items follows, with shelf-stable milk being an ongoing and particular need:  Juice, canned ham and chicken, crackers, sardines, chunky-style soups, mixed canned vegetables, canned corn, white rice, laundry detergent, dish soap, coffee.

 There is a basket at the back of the church. Thank you for your compassion and care.

 PRAYER REQUESTS

Each month we refresh the prayer requests.  Please email the office should you wish to add or renew someone on the prayer list. We bring our prayers to God, whether for ourselves or for others, knowing that God responds to our request. We ask that you seek permission from the person you wish us to pray for before submitting the name. Only first names will be read out during the service to help preserve privacy.

EVENSONG

As the day draws to a close, come and rest in the beauty of sung worship and quiet contemplation. We look forward to sharing this time of prayer and music with you. Evensong services will then resume on January 28, 2026.

BIBLE STUDY – TAKING A BREAK …

The Bible Study is on a short December break … so much else is happening in December.

We will resume in January – date to be announced.

FUNDSCRIP

If you’ve never tried FundScrip and would like to help the church earn some extra money, reach out to Lori at office@stg.church and I will help you get started!  The invitation code is J6HC44 and the website is www.fundscrip.com Lots of choices for gifts and everyday purchases.

 VESTRY MEETING

All parishioners are invited to the annual meeting on Sunday February 22 after the worship service. 

Together we will reflect on the past year, giving thanks for what has been accomplished and learning from our challenges, and to look ahead to 2026 as we prayerfully plan how to grow in trust in God while remaining attentive and responsive in our shared ministry.

 Ministry leader reports will be due in the office by the end of January.
