St. Brigid’s is sorely in need of volunteers to help with various tasks, including the unloading of items from the Food Bank on the 2nd Friday of each month. Please see Jim Hicks or Dave Harrison for more information. FUNDRAISING Our major fundraiser, The St. James Fair, is only a year away. Ideas for other events to raise funds, promote fellowship, and attract new friends are being solicited. Our annual Stewardship Campaign runs from October 12 until November 9th, where fundraising is our only focus. In regard to the St. James Fair, it is a good time to start considering things that will result in the best outcome for our church. As all donations are tax deductible, you, your family and friends, might want to think of higher value goods that may be better for the donor as a tax write off, and better for St. James as a source of income. Trading a car? Grandmother's things that are nice but you never use? Talent and storage are other essentials required to make the Fair a success. Please let us know. Fund raising, besides what the term implies,is a great chance for fellowship, and to introduce new people to the "Little Stone Church with the Warm Heart." Please direct all ideas and questions to fundstjames@gmail.com. |
