PRESS RELEASE - PLEASE
READ
After seventy-five years of serving churches and
individuals in the Maritimes and beyond, it is with deep regret
that the Board of Directors of Mission La Bonne Nouvelle announce
the closing of La Bonne Nouvelle Bookstore, 251 St. George Street,
Moncton,
NB.
The goal of Mission La Bonne Nouvelle has been to support
French evangelism in our region, largely through the profits from
the La Bonne Nouvelle
Bookstore.
The challenges of high transportation costs, closure of a
major Canadian distributor leading to increased US purchasing, the
lower value of the Canadian dollar, increased competition via
internet and other stores to reduce prices along with the current
economic situation have all combined. These factors led the Board
to the decision to conclude the business of La Bonne Nouvelle
Bookstore.
Over the last number of years, major efforts were made to
partner with local groups through a variety of conferences, special
events and activities such as Renovaré, Maximum Impact,
denominational events, etc. as well as becoming a major ticket
outlet for the area. Building renovations have permitted an
increase in the number of apartment rentals. Despite these efforts,
the challenges have become too great to permit the bookstore to
continue.
Christine Nadeau, Chair of the Board said, “It is
hard to see this ministry end. On behalf of the French Baptist
Churches we commend the staff for putting their whole heart into
every day’s work. They have not only supported French
evangelism but ministered to countless churches and individuals
over the years.”
La Bonne Nouvelle Bookstore will be clearing inventory
through a ‘Closing Sale’ which will start Friday, June
12, 2009 and the store will close effective June 20,
2009.
