St. Paul’s Food Bank
Our next Food Bank Sunday is this Sunday, 12th November.
An email from the Food Bank coordinator:
The list this time, cereal, canned meat, mac & cheese, spaghetti sauce, pasta, canned soup &
baked beans please and yes we need egg cartons, plastic bag or reusable bags & containers
again ??! You can also send money, cheque will be the best so I can give you a receipt for tax
purposes. As always thank you so much for working with us for all the needs at the food bank!
Greatly appreciated.
And, we should thank Doug and Laura F., who faithfully collect and deliver our gifts each
month, a valuable and helpful ministry.
Breakfast Program
The next breakfast is on Saturday November 18th from 9 – 10:30 am. All are welcome!
Nearly New Shop update. Good news! We had record sales in October of $1194.00, and we
still have many very nice warm coats for children and adults.
Our year to date income is $5445.00. These sales are 95% of funds we raise for Outreach.
Many thanks to my 20 volunteers.
Let me know if you would like to join the roster in April, it takes just 2 to 3 hours once a month
and is a nice way to meet and visit with other women of the parish.

Learning Together
The Weekly Bible Study continues via Zoom on Thursday evening at 7.00pm. Everyone is
welcome.
You can attend every week or just occasionally if that is what your schedule allows. We will
hear a passage of scripture read a number of times. Each time the passage is read participants
will be asked to reflect on a different question. Following each reading of the passage
participants will be invited to share their thoughts and reflections on the question they were
asked to think about.
This is a very informal approach to reading and talking about scripture and again everyone is
welcome.
Here is the link for the study: Join Zoom Meeting,
