Announcements and Upcoming Events
Coffee Hour Today
Coffee hour will be held following the service. Thank you to those who
brought donations of lunch items and set up the coffee & tea.
Annual Spaghetti Supper - Saturday Nov. 8th
Come one. Come all. Bring your friends to this festive
Italian evening. Dinner will include not only spaghetti
but also garlic bread, Caesar salad and gelato con
biscotti!
Dinner will be served starting at 5:00 pm.

Spaghetti Supper Bake Sale – November 8th
This year we are asking parishioners to contribute to a
baked goods sale that will be part of the fundraising event.
In the past, this has raised almost $400 so it is well worth
the effort. Any and all types of baking are welcome. We
ask that you please price your baking in advance.
St James’ Budget Deficit
A review of our finances at Parish Council has revealed an alarming trend.
Despite stable attendance and expenses, donations have declined by 13%
between 2013 and 2014. At the present time, we have an operating deficit
of $3,500. Our operating reserve is now below $0 and money is being
borrowed from the Building Fund, which is needed to keep the building in
good repair.
In order to maintain solvency, donations need to return to 2013 levels and
this has to continue into 2015. To address the current deficit will require
WEEKLY donations to be increased by $13.00 per family from now until
the end of the year or by a one-time additional donation of $115.00. In 2015,
weekly donations need to increase by $2.50 per family or $10.00 per month.
Can you help?
Please consider asking for a weekly offering envelopes or
participating in PAR (pre-authorized remittance). All
donations are tax deductible. Speak to Glenn concerning
donation options.
Craft Club now on Monday nights at 6:45 pm
Consider learning some new crafting skills in the new year.
All are welcome to join and bring a friend too. Please let
Brenda Ramsden know a few days in advance if you plan to
attend so she can arrange for adequate supplies for everyone.
Looking to be baptized in 2014?
If your family is wishing to have a child (or adult) baptized the
next available dates are: Sunday, November 23rd or Sunday,
December 28th

and fill it with goodies and include a $7 cheque made out
to Samaritan’s Purse for each shoe box to help pay for the
shipping.
Items could include small toys, small musical instruments, pencils, note
pads, picture books, games, jewelry, individually wrapped candy or small
items of clothing.
