Late night professional wrestling matches pale in comparison to one by a river and another in a garden.  What are you currently wrestling with?  Our faith is strengthened and deepened when we dare to wrestle with God.

Continuing on in our ‘behind the scenes’ thank you’s, this week we would like to express our gratitude to:
- Sylvia Shaw and Margaret Bates who did a ‘deep cleaning’ in some of our cupboards at the end of Trinity Hall this past week.  We are blessed to have your helpful hands and hearts!
- Jarrett Hoefling and Eli Deacon for helping move and transport some ‘excess’ furniture from the office and storage area.  We are grateful for your strong arms and willingness to answer our call for help!
- Barb English who has volunteered to send out welcome cards to people who are new to us, letting them know we are glad they are worshipping with our faith family.  We are thankful you heard our ‘call for help’ and responded with a ‘YES’!
- Sheila Kirkland for her encouraging words at the ACM to ALL our volunteers at St. Andrew’s for your dedication, commitment, and tireless work as we reach out to those around us.

New Easter morning format!!!   This year please come to St. Andrew’s  anytime after 9:00 am to enjoy a hot cross bun and coffee together in the KE Lounge.  At 9:45 we’ll all go into the Sanctuary to spend 5-10 minutes on the hunt for chocolate Easter eggs ~ young in age and young in heart ~ one and all!!

Easter bookmarks are available on the Welcome Desk if you didn’t receive one last week.  Easter is a special time at St. Andrew’s ~ we will be providing opportunities to worship through rituals, music, and the Easter message.  Please join us for ALL the services you can.  You’ll be glad you did!  So will  we!!

In 2019 St Andrew’s organized a Powwow that was well attended by our neighbours. We want to do it again this fall: bigger and better, and in collaboration with the Aboriginal Friendship Centre and the Kingsland Community Association! Now six months away, we are starting to organize the different elements of the day that will include art projects, drumming, circle dance, storytelling, a teepee, food.  Would you like to have a part?
A planning meeting to get some balls rolling will be held TUESDAY, MARCH 19th @ 7:00 PM in the Karl English Lounge.
For more information, contact Brian Hawco or Peter Coutts.

Reminder to sign up children who are in grades 1 - 6 for our next TAKE 150 on March 16th at 5:30 pm.  Registration closes TODAY.
