Altar Guild

Due to the decreasing size of the Altar Guild, we are looking for people who
would be willing to assist in delivering the Altar flowers to sick and shut-ins
after the Sunday service. This would involve picking up two bouquets,
immediately after the 10:30AM Sunday service, and delivering them to
assigned people. Also, if you know someone who is sick, and would like to
have flowers, please let us know. We appreciate your consideration of this type
of Outreach. The Altar Guild.
 
Need Extra Help Around the Home?

There are many students in Chatham-Kent who are willing to work on an

"Odd Jobs" around your home, or are interested in hiring a student to assist
you in your household chores, outdoor work, childcare, or any other task,
please contact the Service Canada Centre for Youth in Chatham, and they
can refer you to a hard-working and enthusiastic youth who is looking for
work. Call 519-380-6836 to Hire a Youth today.

How You Can Help the People of Haiti

Canadian Anglicans are offering support to the earthquake response via
Anglicans in Canada International (ACT) through the Primate's World
Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF). PWRDF has sent an initial
grant of $15,000 for ACT's Rapid Response Program, an ecumenical
effort that is made up of churches and humanitarian organizations.
ACT members - Christian Aid, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, Lutheran
World Federation, and Interchurch Organisation for Development
Corporation - are already on the ground providing relief in Haiti, and
being funded by PWRDF and other member churches thanks to the
generous donations from Anglicans in Canada. Additional donations to
Haiti relief will increase PWRDF's grant to ACT International.
Donations made by individual Canadians over the period of January 12 -
February 12, 2010, will be matched by the Government of Canada
through the CIDA-managed Haiti Earthquake Relief fund.

We will access these funds in cooperation with other Canadian churches
as we have in the past. Please watch for updates on PWRDF's response to
the Haiti earthquake at http://www.pwrdf.org/.

Donations can be made in the following ways:

On-Line
Go to http://www.canadahelps.org and type in PWDRF, which will take you to
the donation page where you can designate "Haiti earthquake."

By Phone
For credit card donations contact Jennifer Brown, 1-866-308-7973 or
