Grateful Thankful BlessedThank you St. Andrew's for participating in our very first "Adult's Time" in the service this past week. The children had so much fun rehearsing and getting ready to show you how to be brave in the face of uncertainty. We hope you all had as much fun as we did!
A special shout out and thank you to Adam Stolee who wrote the script for our play! Adam was inspired to write the script (with the help of his younger brother and sister, Andrew and Sarah) after Rev. Laurie visited church school on February 16th. I am so grateful, thankful, and blessed to be a part of the children's lives and witness their creativity and leadership skills that come shining through! Lorna Andronikou |
