“So, How does this Call Process work??” Reverend Peter Coutts, Interim Moderator
I am so glad you asked this question! Congregations don’t go through it very often, so it can be hard to imagine it. I will lay it out for you in the form of a schedule. Do mark your calendars for the weekend of December 2nd & 3rd!

Sometimes life feels like a puzzle. Sometimes it feels like a maze.
It has twists and turns, and sometimes you can’t seem to find the right path. You find yourself going the wrong way, and have to turn around and choose a different path. |

Please Consider Serving SATURDAY MORNING in preparing our Church building and grounds for Christmas
The beginning of Advent is just over a week away. Traditionally St. Andrew’s sets up a nativity display of angels, a manger, and Christmas lights on our front lawn during Advent. The Facilities team invites all congregation members to join us on THIS Saturday November 25th at 11:00 am to set-up our Advent display. We expect the set-up should take about 60-90 minutes. Please join us - it’s a great way to start our Christmas celebrations! ~ Don Koch |
You Can Help Our Church School Children Be Santa!
One of the goals in our church school program is to teach our children awareness of the needs of others. The children love to take that awareness to the next level, and they will complete a mission project at our Christmas Eve service (at 4:00 pm) by decorating and filling individual packages for children in need. The packages will be delivered to WINS (Women in Need Society) who will distribute them for us. Members of the congregation can help by bringing items to put in the gift bags.
