Thank You! – Sincere thanks from the Alkreiz family for the most generous donation of $1,000 by a Saint Andrew’s family toward renovation of their recently purchased mobile home at 62 Evergreen Street. A cheque for $1,130 was presented to Majed early this week, being the $1,000 plus other donations to the Refugee Sponsorship Fund that were gratefully received over the past month. Thanks also to the donor of a lawn mower. Majed is working every evening and weekend. Progress is most impressive, with drywall, windows, closets, trim and interior doors installed throughout. The city of Fredericton building permit for an estimated $19,400 in renovations is for interior work plus exterior insulation and siding but does not include roof modifications and shingling. Majed will be taking the first week of July as “vacation” from Colpitts to work continuously. He would be most pleased to receive visits and any support from people of Saint Andrew’s.

Noon Hour Recital – featuring Dianne Roxborough Brown, piano & Julie Grant, flute. Wed. July 4, 12:10pm-12:50pm at Christ Church Parish Church.  Admission by freewill donation to support the music programs at Christ Church Parish Church.

Roof Fund Campaign

At the annual congregational meeting on Feb 25, 2018, the urgency of taking action on the deteriorating roof was emphasized.  Since then a significant leak has developed in the sanctuary.   A budget of $92,000 was approved at the annual meeting to complete a new roof, and a ‘Roof Fund’ has now been created to accept donations to help defray the cost. Since this is a very sizeable cost, and available resources are limited, we will need to raise a significant portion of the cost from donations in order to proceed.

Your prayerful consideration to contribute generously to this urgent appeal is needed in order to maintain Saint Andrew’s beautiful church building.

Donation forms and envelopes marked “Roof Fund” are available on the tables at the back of the church. Your Donation, along with the completed form, can be put in the offering plate, can be sent to the Church Office, or given to a member of the Board or Session, whose names are shown in this bulletin. If you want someone to pick up your donation, please contact the church office at 455-8220. We sincerely thank you for your consideration to this urgent appeal. Donations are deductible for tax purposes.

Roof Fund Balance: The Roof Fund balance is now at $67,657. Thanks for your support.
