Last week’s garage sale raised just over $1,400. Many thanks again to all who helped at the sale, especially those who remained at the end to clean up the Church. Approximately $350 will be given to each of the following:
St. Paul’s Ladies Group;
Camp Douglas (to offset some general administrative expenses);
St. Paul’s Camper’s Fund, and,
Canadian Red Cross (Prince George office) – to assist the communities affected by the recent sawmill fires (Prince George and Burns Lake).
The Pancake Breakfast raised approx. $325, in addition to the garage sale proceeds. The Men’s Club will use these funds to assist in covering expenses involved in our youth ministries, including VBS, SHOUT!!! and Sunday School.
