KEITH TUCKER 
MEMORIAL BURSARY
2010

Criteria

Established by the Parish Council of St. Andrew’s Church, Sidney, BC in loving memory of Keith Tucker, in recognition of many years of service to the Anglican Church of Canada.

Objectives

Mission Statement

To know, proclaim and become living examples of Christ - through the equipping of our members, the nurture and loving fellowship of all, and the reaching out in love and ministry to those outside our church.

Our Stewardship Statement

God created us and therefore all of our resources belong to Him, just as we do.  One of our first tasks as Christians is to use God’s resources rightly.  These resources are to be shared between His service and our needs.  It is important that we set aside a definite portion, a tithe, of God’s resources for His work here on earth.  The giving of our time, talent, and treasure is a tangible reflection of our growing faith in God and our relationship with Him.
