Jul 14 – Rev. Peter Coutts
"How shall I follow the Way?"
The earliest name that Christians called themselves was "People of the Way". It raises a question: "What is The Way?" It's a good question, as the Way has evolved over 2,000 years of Christianity. Rev. Peter will explore how the Way has changed, through the lens of his recent trip to Europe.  The subsequent question is, "If the Way has evolved over time and place, how should I think about the way I follow The Way?"

Jul 21 – Rev. Dr. Jean Morris
“The Rhythm of Resting and Rending”
Come and hear Rev. Dr. Jean share with us about Jesus' teaching of setting aside time for rest and the call to a compassionate response to the needs of our neighbours.  The ingredients of faithfulness are rest and compassion - together.

THANK YOU to all those who helped make the AA BBQ on Saturday, July 6th a success!!  We had volunteers who helped with set up, parking, making cookies & squares, and takedown ~ while others helped by your presence and stampede spirit!!  Please take the time to click on the link below – which was  written by an AA member, Dave Reed.  ~ Deb

From Dave, on behalf of Haddon Group AA:
I would like to take this opportunity to express Haddon Group’s gratitude to St. Andrew’s for your continued support and graciousness. Special thanks to Debby and Dolly, as well as all the volunteers from St. Andrew’s that made this event a success.

All little ones up to the age of 6 are welcome to join Calysta or Lilwen in the nursery for the summer.  Activity sheets (found at the back of the church) will be provided for the older children.

Mealtrain is a system that allows us to provide meals to those who need help at certain times in their lives. If you are someone who can provide an occasional meal ~ and are not on our current contact list ~ please speak with Joan Rowe.  We know some people like to cook but don’t like to drive.  NOT A PROBLEM!!   If you can make a meal, we will have someone pick it up and deliver it, or you can drop off a frozen meal to the church freezer.  I can be contacted by email at  mjrowe@telus.net, and by phone at 587-223-6243.
Thank you! ~ Joan Rowe, Care Share Coordinator, Mealtrain

Did you know that St. Andrew's has an informal golf league?  We play about twice a month, sometimes 9 holes and sometimes 18-holes.  An email is sent out to those who have expressed an interest in golfing and individuals can choose whether or not to participate on a given day.  Some of the courses we have played include Crystal Ridge, D'Arcy Ranch, Maple Ridge and Livingston.  We hope to try High River, Vulcan, Nanton, Confederation Park and Lakeview over the summer.  So far, we haven't spotted any bears!  If you would like to be added to the email list, please contact Terry Basaraba (terry.basaraba@gmail.com).

As part of the celebrations in honour of the 150th anniversary of the formation of the denomination, the ‘Committee on History’ has a commemorative project planned called PCC 150.  PCC150 asks members of the PCC to submit their recollections and reflections.  The stories do not need to be long (400 words maximum).  Even just a couple of sentences would suffice if they best capture your memory or your future goal as a member of the PCC.  You can send your reflection directly to Ian McKechnie (instructions in link below), or you can email them to ‘office@standrewscalgary.ca’ with the subject line PCC 150 REFLECTION, and we will gather them all together and send them as one submission, crediting you with the information you submitted.   Remember:  400 word maximum!    ~ Deb
