From the Session, Deacons and staff of St. Andrew's, we wish you all God's richest blessings for 2020!
Youth Christmas Party
We had a great taco dinner (on Friday, December 27th) - thank you, Randy & Erin for gifting us dinner. Then we enjoyed some time together with a Secret Santa game and Christmas crackers.
It’s an “Almost New Year’s Eve” Party
For the past few years the children have celebrated New Year's Eve on the Sunday in between Christmas & New Year's. This year we decided to invite the rest of the congregation to party with us. So Scott planned a very interactive worship service, one where everyone could participate and get creative. We sang hymns together, prayed together and even enjoyed breakfast together - right in the middle of worship! Thank you, to everyone who joined us, for being such great sports and showing our children and families that they are important, too.

GivingTuesday
Our GivingTuesday #GivingTuesdayWR campaign continues to run for the month of December! Have you thought about how you can give generously? Here's a few ideas: give a financial donation to a charity of your choice, give of your time and volunteer at a food bank, soup kitchen, etc.; do a random act of kindness, hold the door open for someone, teach someone something good. Use your imaginations, use your gifts and talents. Thank you for making our community a better one!
Another busy day!
The Big Idea Club from Silverheights Public School visited Hope Clothing today to bring us their collection of new and gently used clothing from their recent clothing drive. A BIG SHOUT OUT to these wonderful people for thinking of other people in our community who need a little extra help.
A Celebration and Getting Ready!
It's starting to look a lot like Christmas. Thank you to all our creative decorators, who have been busy this week getting St. Andrew's ready for the Advent/Christmas season.
Celebrating with Paula today! We had some fun celebrating Paula's first year with St. Andrew's. She keeps us all on track, keeps us smiling and is a good friend. Cheers Paula! We are very happy you are part of the team.
It’s a Busy time of Year!
It's been busy lately! Here are a few photos from the past couple of weeks. The Holy Sherlocks made their own wooden crosses (thanks to Bill Hunter for his help), a great group built the float for the upcoming Santa Claus parade and the Annual Senior's Tea held at St. Luke's Place. Many thanks to everyone who helped build the float and helped at the tea.
