Great things come from small beginnings.  We might not know how big something can grow from a small seed, or even see the results.  In God we have hope, growth, and blessings that grow beyond ourselves.

This gives you a special opportunity to honour loved ones on Sunday July 30th during the Postlude!

The great hymn declares, “We have an anchor that keeps the soul, steadfast and sure while the billows roll.” We will explore the metaphor of anchors in our lives, and what the Letter to the Hebrews says about how God can be an anchor for us.

Dear friends ~ Joan and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the warm and wonderful send-off that you offered us, and for the most generous gifts that you provided us with.  We also would like to thank you for the wonderful friendship and support that you offered us, and which we so happily accepted.
St. Andrew’s is a blessed and strong community of faith, and it was our privilege to be part of your lives since 2021.  We hope and trust that we will continue to stay in touch in the future.
Much love and every best wish, Joan & Geoffrey
PS: We are just back from a nice two-week trip to B.C., where we saw family and enjoyed coastal life for a bit.  Nice to be retired, if only for a while!  :)
NOTE FROM LinX EDITORS:  WE hope and trust that we will continue to stay in touch in the future too.  As a matter of fact, we’re COUNTING ON IT!!!

The Youth Group will be collecting cans and bottles from our generous congregation in the church parking lot from 7 to 9 pm on Friday September 29, 2023 as part of our "kick off" event for the year.  We appreciate your donations and support of our ministry.

 This week I read a news article on our very own Harry Eisenhauer, who teed off as an honorary player in the Calgary and Areas Seniors Golf Tournament last week at the age of 103.  Harry is an example to EVERYONE of getting up every morning and living life to the fullest.  But as I look back on the life of St. Andrew’s, I reflected that Harry has been an example to so many of us of living your life to the fullest FOR GOD.  Harry served on Session from 1962 to 2001, and I was blessed to be on Session with him for 13 years before he retired.  He was a leader, a mentor, and an amazing example of generosity to all of us.  He ‘lighted the flame within us’ many times over the years.  Bless you Harry, and blessings on your life - and your golf game!!!

St. Andrew’s Church family: Please remember her in your prayers.  Pray for surgeons’ healing hands, for compassionate care, for a successful surgery, and for peace for Fiona and Garry during the surgery and in the days ahead.   ~ Debby
