Called, invited, followed along: what is your story of coming to Christ? Have you ever shared how? Have you ever thanked the person(s) or been thanked for bringing someone to Jesus?  They (whoever) they are, once said “Everyone should have a "personal story" ~ about the length of an elevator ride…”

Worship, Church School and Special Studies/Events: Jan 7 - 14, 2024
PLUS LINKS to our Team/Group Meetings and Monthly Calendar!

This past summer, members of the Facilities Team provided hours and hours of labor renovating our main Kitchen (off Trinity Hall). Members of the Ladies’ Guild also helped in this endeavor, and on Wednesday evening, January 3rd, Facilities Team members and their partners were invited by the Ladies’ Guild for a sit-down dinner to thank them for all their time and effort in updating our kitchen space.  We are grateful to the Facilities Team, to the Ladies’ Guild, and to anyone else who was able to provide assistance over the summer.  If you haven’t seen the newly renovated kitchen, it’s worth a minute to pop by and ‘ooh and ahh’!!!  Well done, thou good and faithful servants!!!  ~ Deb

At the Presbytery of Calgary Macleod’s meeting on Tuesday, January 9th, Rev. Peter, Lorna Andronikou, Bill Judd, and Debby Dorcas spoke about why St. Andrew’s feels Rev. Laurie is the right person for us at this time.  Presbytery approved that this is a gospel call – and next Tuesday night, St. Andrew’s entire session will participate in a zoom meeting with Rev. Laurie’s presbytery, where they will discuss our call to Rev. Laurie and – as the spokesperson for her Presbytery stated to Peter – celebrate this event in Laurie’s life, and in the life of our congregation.
