Bulletin for the week of October 6th 2019:
Euchre Party: All are invited, you don't have to be a member of the church to come and play! St. Matthias, downstairs in the parish hall at 7:15pm Wednesday October 9th. Fun, fellowship, treats, and a 50/50 draw, all for $5.
Thanksgiving Sunday: October 13th. This year, as always, were are collecting food items for Youth Without Shelter. Judy Leroux, director at YWS has asked that we not donate Fruits & Veggies this year. The reason being that they receive so much from different sources & end up throwing items away because they have rotted before they can be used & is also very wasteful. She has e-mailed the church a “wish list” of things that are preferable & are not likely to go to waste (this will be available at the back of the sanctuary on October 9th).
Flea Market: Saturday, October 19, with set-up on Friday, Oct. 18 between 5:30 & 6 pm. As usual, much help is needed with set-up, selling & cleanup, by as many helpers as possible & greatly appreciated. Because this is the last flea market for this year, left-over items need to be boxed up & moved to the narthex for pick-up by the Diabetic Association.
Memorial Flowers: Anyone wishing to place flowers on the Altar, as a Memorial to loved ones, can do so any Sunday they wish. Please speak to Irene and she will look after your request.
Purdy's Chocolate: Our major Fundraiser:
Catalogues available on the back table in the sanctuary, please pick up one for yourself and a friend.
