Welcome to St. Jude's!

Parking

Please be aware that if you park on Howarth Ave. opposite the entrance to the School (see the yellow signs for children crossing) or on the yellow striped area of our parking lot opposite the entrance to the School, even on a Sunday, you could receive a parking ticket that we can't "fix".  This area is designated NO PARKING AT ANYTIME.

Cost of Producing the Bulletin

Several people have expressed a wish to donate the cost of producing the Sunday bulletin each week.  If you wish to make this donation the costs per week are:  $30 for the bulletin,
$30 for the announcements and $25 for the readings.  Please call the Church office if you are interested in making this donation.

Soup Labels and Pop Can Tabs

Karen Ball is collecting Campbell's soup can labels and pop can tabs for use by charities that will purchase items such as wheelchairs for the needy.  If you would like to add to the collection, please place them in the containers in the Narthex.   Thanks for your support.

The Food Bank Needs Your Help 

Our Deacon's Pantry Food Bank is in desperate need of the following items:

  • Spaghetti (no other pasta please), spaghetti sauce

  • Kraft dinner

  • CANNED:  meat, fish, stew, fruit

  • Peanut butter, soda crackers and sugar

Please be as generous as you can.  Thank you from the Food Bank volunteers.

 

We are averaging 8-10 families on Wednesday mornings from 10:00am to Noon, and many of these families are single parent with three or more children.  Please help us keep up with the request for food. Thank you from the Food Bank Volunteers

We can always use extra help when it is busy to bag up the sugar, milk, flour, etc., if you are available to donate a few hours of your time, please contact Sylvia Bonney after the 10:30 Sunday service.

Help Wanted

Once again we are collecting your old eye glasses.  The Scarborough Central Lions Club appreciates your participation in this worthwhile cause.  For your convenience there is a collection box in the Narthex.

If you would like to see a copy of the new music Senan, our Organist, has introduced into our worship there are a few at the back of the church.

Check out the Church Organ page for specs and photos.

St. Jude Email Distribution List 

Would you like to receive emails from St. Jude?  Just send your email address to .  Your address will never be sold, and you will never receive junk mail from St. Jude's.  Just the occasional notice of special events that might occur on short notice (e.g. funerals). 

Nursery Program Volunteers URGENTLY Needed 

The Nursery Program provides a comfortable and caring environment in the Moore Room (just inside the front entrance in the narthex) for the youngest members of our church during the 10:30am Sunday service.  If you could assist one Sunday a month or have any questions, please contact Sheila Lightfoot, our Sunday Nursery Coordinator.

Altar Guild Occasional Helpers

We need some people we can call on to help on an occasional basis for 30 minutes after the 10:30am Sunday service in the sacristy if our clean-up team is short of people.  With summer holidays and winter snow-birds, we sometimes find ourselves short of helpers.  If you could spare some time or would like more information, please contact Margaret Scott.  Thank you!

Votive Candles

Light a candle for a loved one.  In the Prayer Corner of the Baptistry, there is a votive candle stand.   You may find it meaningful or helpful to light a candle as you offer a special prayer for a friend or loved one.  We ask that, if you do, you make a small contribution to the purchase of a candle - $1.00 suggested.

Volunteers to Assist at the Wexford

Volunteers are needed to assist at the Tuesday 10:30am service at the Wexford Senior's Residence.  The duties are to help set up for the Eucharist and clean up afterwards, assist any residents who wish to come to the service and sit with them during the service.  After the Eucharist, some residents may require assistance to return to their rooms.  If you would like to help with this very necessary outreach project, please contact Fr. Ian or the Church Office.

Remembrance Candles

Please sign the 2006 Remembrance Candle Chart in the Narthex including your phone number, and let the secretary know the wording for the insertion in the Bulletin by 9am Wednesday each week.
