Grateful / Thankful / Blessed“Music can change the world.” — Ludwig van Beethoven Sheila Kirkland took this to heart, and throughout her life has changed her ‘little piece of the world’ - wherever she was living at the time! We at St. Andrew’s are so thankful for the many gifts Sheila has shared with us over the years. A highlight for many choir members was when Sheila directed the Chancel Singers for many, MANY years. Sheila has also sung in our choirs, served on Session, and ~ always wanting to grow in faith ~ participates in the Sunday morning Bible Studies. We know that music and the arts have always had a little piece of Sheila’s heart, and we have been blessed when she has shared these with us. Sheila turned 95 years young this past week. We were thrilled that we could celebrate this milestone birthday with her and her son Ian, and look forward to Sheila’s continuing contributions to the life of this congregation. We know music will always be a blessing in your life Sheila, as you are in ours!! ~ Deb

Cyclone Freddy struck Malawi in March 2023
Freddy wreaked havoc on the lives of countless Malawians, causing significant disruptions to daily activities, washing away essential food crops and destroying critical infrastructure, which led to widespread displacement. Six months later, families have returned to their homes, now in ruins, their harvests washed away, and the loss of their livestock making the difficulties they face even greater. PWS&D responded immediately with search and rescue efforts and to meet immediate needs. Six months later, PWS&D and partners at Canadian Foodgrains Bank are supporting a recovery project to aid families in getting back on their feet.
