Why you definitely don’t want to forget to set your clocks forward

Posted by StAndrewsHespeler on Thursday, March 8th, 2018 in News

Okay, we don't mean to alarm you, but there is a chance that you might just sleep in this Sunday. That is because Sunday the 11th is the first day of Daylight Savings time in 2018. If you don't adjust your clocks, your alarm might not go off and might just not make it to church at St. Andrew's Hespeler and believe us, you won't want to miss it. Why? Well...

It is the fourth Sunday in Lent and we will continue our journey towards the wonders and marvels of Easter. We continue to reflect on the teaching of A Catechism for Today which turns, this week, towards the all-important idea of a covenant.
People have been working on some incredible music for this service including

A beautiful arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon by the Adult choir accompanied by Zoé McAndless on the violin
A duet by Heather & Corey
A duet (The old Rugged Cross) by Ray & Bob

The sermon will focus on the meaning and application of covenant to our Christian lives:

O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

A month to go … and off to Malawi

Posted by StAndrewsHespeler on Wednesday, March 7th, 2018 in News

In Malawi there is not much hope. There is disease, corruption and famine; no education and misery ride tall among the residents there. But there is a compassionate God that has given us plenty and with this plenty we can share and bring a better way of life to the Malawian people. Please consider those who go without their entire lives and find out more about this mission; God’s mission given to us. For more information go to: http://presbyterian.ca/pwsd/

Going to Malawi

Posted by StAndrewsHespeler on Thursday, March 1st, 2018 in News

In Canada we take many things for granted: warm homes that shelter us from the elements, easily accessible food and clean water, a great education system and health care that looks after our needs. But in some places in the world like Malawi, there is barely any access to clean water; let alone the other necessities that are needed to survive and perpetuate their culture. We can make a difference! In April, 2 or our members are taking part in a PWS&D trip to Malawi. We look forward to hearing about how our donations to PWS&D are making a difference.

2018 Missional Budget – written to inspire!

Posted by StAndrewsHespeler on Sunday, February 25th, 2018 in News

Church budgets tend to be a bit dry for everyone except those who get excited by numbers. That's why we set out to do a budget this year that reflects our passion and our calling to be the church

Can a budget inspire? We think so!

Information about Malawi

Posted by StAndrewsHespeler on Thursday, February 22nd, 2018 in News

In the world there is much need, and unfortunately some people have the will but no way to change things for the better. This is the kind of situation that is in Malawi where they are being afflicted with poor education and famine. A child is lucky to make it to adulthood because of the circumstances in this country; but we can help. In April 2 of members are going to Malawi on a PWS&D trip. Please keep this trip and the participants in your prayers.
