One of the most treasured views

LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO MAINTAIN THIS ICONIC SETTING.

The Three Churches Foundation was established in 2013 by representatives of St. James Anglican Church, St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Trinity United Church and members of the community of Mahone Bay to ensure the streetscape of these three, which share in, and benefit from, their collective landmark status as one of Nova Scotia’s outstanding features.

Dear Friend,
The Three Churches Foundation (3CF) has just made the difficult decision to cancel yet another fundraiser. This time last year, we had already debuted our successful Lobster Dinner and then followed up with another spectacular Canada Day Strawberry Fest. Can’t happen this year… Our AGM is delayed, and we are not alone in mourning the necessary cancellation of the Scarecrow Festival. All of this is essential, of course. And we respect the rules that have kept our town safe and healthy thus far and are so proud of our retailers who have steered a fine course in maintaining the economy of Mahone Bay while protecting clients and staff. Still, visitors come! Mahone Bay, the South Shore, is a destination for fellow Nova Scotians who arrive to see us put our best face forward. The well-received bellringing event continues every single Sunday morning. Each week we see more cars in our parking lots…with residents and guests who then seek coffee, a bite to eat and, increasingly, shop for a treasured memento. Our stores and eateries are ready to welcome them! But, as I type this, one of the iconic churches is bound by yellow caution tape, waiting for vital repairs to the roof. Another needs a paint job; the third, minor exterior upkeep. But without regular services, the churches need assistance, now, more than ever, to help cover costs for exterior maintenance of the buildings. You may have discovered that remaining well requires a plan, especially in a pandemic. As the Board of 3CF, our mission is to maintain the fitness of the three church buildings. Our charitable foundation is determined to keep these precious structures healthy and sound so that we may continue to draw guests to our town…and never disappoint them by looking shabby. You can help by supporting this Registered Canadian Charity. Your donations help preserve the exterior of these heritage buildings: that is our entire reason for being, supporting the role the Three Churches of Mahone Bay play in the economy of our region. If your heart, like mine, lifts at the sight of the shoreline of Mahone Bay, please consider helping us in this challenging time, when we still must maintain a brave and camera-ready presence? We’d be so grateful. Lee Simpson Chair of Board, Three Churches Foundation We are a registered Charitable Business No. 80723 9371 RR0001. No goods or services will be provided in exchange for this donation. |
