THANK YOU TO Peter and Sandra King and Brian and Cathy Taylor for hosting another very successful "Coffee House"- $1,656.36 was realized from this fund raiser. Also to Rick McGhie, who so very generously donated his time, along with all those talented parishioners and their friends who entertained us. A great noisy, musical and fun night - one of our best! Everyone had a wonderful time!!

OUR LENTEN SERIES CONTINUES this evening, March 3rd after the 7.30 pm service. This week the topic is "Jesus as Lord", a video presentation followed by discussion. Everyone welcome!!

DAILY BREAD SUNDAYS Please bring in non-perishable food items or monetary donations, each week, since we are designating all Sundays in Lent as Daily Bread Sundays. This is a way of ‘denial’ during the season of Lent.

MILK BAGS are being collected by the ACW to weave into mats for children to sleep on in places such as Haiti – there is a collection box in the narthex.

SENIORS’ ST. PATRICK’S POTLUCK LUNCH on Friday, March 5th, following Holy Eucharist. Maybe there will be some "green" goodies? Also a presentation by Margery Rutherford of their trip to New Zealand.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER – 2:00 pm, Friday, March 5th, 2010 at Knollwood Park Presbyterian Church, Oxford at Quebec Street. Theme: 2010 – "Let Everything that has Breath Praise God".

ST. JUDE'S YOUTH - GAMES & PIZZA NIGHT. All high school aged St. Judeans are invited for a Wii Games Night at the Skanes house on Friday, March 5th from 6:30-9:30 pm. Please contact Allan or Lisa so we know how many pizzas to order and to provide you with directions. 519-433-1856 or mcskanes@yahoo.ca.

"NEW" the NEARLY NEW SHOPPE will be open Saturday, March 6th - 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for those of you who are unable to get in Tuesday morning nor Thursday evening.

SHOP AND SUPPORT – pick up your orders Sunday March 7th after the services.

COFFEE HOUR AFTER 10:00 AM SERVICE – we need your feedback: the only positive I have heard for having the coffee hour in the narthex is some people, who would normally leave directly after the service, will grab a coffee/tea and not take the time to go into the Westminister room (where it is warm) for some social time. I have received many negatives (negatives we don’t need) and I am on coffee duty this week so I would prefer to move the coffee hour back to the Westminster Room - please reply, Rosalie.

REMINDER TO SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS – there will be a meeting following the 10:00 am service this Sunday, March 7th.

VACANCIES FOR CANDLE DONATIONS in March and April (two-week period). Please sign up on the bulletin board.

NEXT YOUTH ‘LOFT’ SUNDAY will be March 21st (due to March break) with Shirley Porter. Some great ideas have come out of the first session - exciting things to come - stay tuned!!

MAKING OF PALM CROSSES with the Chancel Guild will be held on Saturday, March 27th at 10:00 am. Parishioners and especially the Youth are invited to join this group to learn the art of making Palm Crosses. Coffee/juice will be available.

SERVERS FOR MAUNDY THURSDAY, APRIL 1stit would be helpful to have some adults help the young servers strip the altar and carry the heavier things out of the sanctuary - please volunteer and inform the office if you are available.

FAMILY CAMPING TRIP – it will soon be time to book camping sites for the annual "St. Jude's family and friends camping trip". It will be at MacGregor Provincial Park on the last weekend of August 2010 (Aug 27, 28, 29). MacGregor has wonderful biking paths throughout the park, so kids might like to have their bikes along. The beach is fairly close to the campground, and is OK, but the beach 5 minutes down the road, outside of Port Elgin, is absolutely beautiful. It's a white sand beach, with a gradual depth increase, and the water is warm and clean. The price is $25.00 per adult for the weekend, and kids camp free. Please contact Joanne in the next few weeks if you are interested 519-438-2461.
