PARISH OF NEREPIS AND ST. JOHN The Anglican Church in Grand Bay is planning to build an Indoor Playpark in their church. They are asking the parishes of the Diocese to consider financial support for this project. Our Vestry decided to inform our parishioners of this project in case they would like to make individual donations toward the Park. There is information on the bulletin board in the hallway for those interested or you may phone the Church Office.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION After our 10:30 service on Sunday, Dec 4, we will be able to enjoy a performance by a group called, The Puppeteaching Project. They are puppeteers who have been working in the schools “Empowering Awesome Kids to Be Their Best Selves!” This special presentation is for the young and all the young-at-heart. The production is approximately 20 minutes long and will be held at the front of the church. There will be juice and a snack in the Lounge afterwards. Please keep this date in mind and bring a friend to church that day.

EATING OUT TOGETHER We would like to organize a few get-togethers around the table for any interested parishioners.

Lunch: we will be going to the Future Chef’s Café at Fredericton High School at 12:30 on Friday, Dec 16.

The cost is around $10 for the Buffet Lunch. Sign-up sheet at the Charlotte St. Entrance for both events. Car Pooling will be arranged for anyone who would like a drive.

SAVE THE DATE-THE PARISH GOES UNPLUGGED On Friday evening, November 25, 6:30 – 8:30 pm, our Mission Within Committee will be hosting a Games Night in the Lounge. We would love for everyone to come and join us for a fun evening as we unplug all our “devices” and enjoy an evening of games and snacks, with a little laughter thrown in. Feel free to bring you favourite board or card game or just take your chances with whatever games show up. It would be helpful for the organizers if you could sign up at the Charlotte St. entrance. See you there.
