Sunday, February 4, 2024 - 10:00 amIs it in our congregation’s self-interest to be a missional congregation seeking the welfare of Calgary? Jeremiah’s words to the captive Jews in Babylon seems to suggest that. It doesn’t sound right….but can it be? |

A picture’s worth a thousand wordsThe Search Team has come up with a wonderful idea to help Rev. Laurie get to know our St. Andrew’s family. They will be presenting Rev. Laurie with a digital photo frame as a welcome gift. They encourage anyone who is interested to take a photo of themselves along with their families, children, pets, etc. holding up a sign with a word of welcome or blessing along with the names of everyone who is in the picture. The photo will be sent directly to the digital frame to help Laurie get acquainted with everyone. Please email your photos to Bart Stolee at bartstolee@gmail.com by February 11 with the Subject line: Welcome Laurie from: <insert your name>.

A fresh start starts with a fresh coat of paintThe week of February 12, Rev. Laurie will begin her ministry among us. A fresh start for her… a fresh start for us. The three ministerial offices have been given a fresh start too - a newly painted start, thanks to the following people: Otto De Nooij, Elly De Nooij, Alfred MacRae, Jessica Adams, Don Koch, Mark Rowe, and Peter Ridley. We are grateful for their gifts of time, careful paint brush strokes and all the little details that come with painting!! ~ Debby |

Last chance to contribute to the ‘welcome basket’Thanks to all those who picked up a ‘stickie’ and purchased something to add ~ or donated money to add ~ to Rev. Laurie’s ‘welcome basket’ when she joins us in February as our Lead Minister. There may be a few stickies left this coming Sunday - if you would like to participate, please pick one up from the board in the Foyer.

Celebrating Rev. PeterWords will fail us in our attempt to thank Rev. Peter for all he has done for St. Andrew’s these past two years as our Interim Minister and then as our Interim Moderator.
