How are we led to  faith? Sometimes, as with Thomas, we need to see the Lord in front of us. Sometimes, we learn to see the Lord through other people; we are led to faith by our parents, by those we love, by the beauty of Creation, and by those we see who inspire us. Today, as we begin to live into the season of Easter, we will explore how the Holy Spirit guides us towards an ever-deepening faith.

What a blessed Easter season we had here at St. Andrew’s!  Meaningful moments… God moments… whatever words you use, the Holy Spirit was alive and well and touching hearts.  At times like this we have to be so careful about singling out people to thank.  Not because we don’t want to name people, but because we don’t want to miss ANYONE.  So to all of you who set up crosses, decorated the Foyer and Sanctuary, ironed and hung banners, provided amazing music,  buttered hot cross buns, wrote Easter sermons, created Easter name tags, hid children’s chocolate eggs, changed the sign to an Easter message, created powerpoint slides for m-a-n-y Easter services, served on the sound board and livestreamed services, led Lenten readings and participated in Easter services… and to those who did something that absolutely needed to be done and I’ve just missed listing it here… Bless you!!   I read the other day that “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time, they just have the heart.”
Thank you ALL for your heart!!

If you like to sing please consider coming to our St. Andrew's Choir Friends Night  at 7:00 pm on Thursday May 8th. Join members of our choir and get a sense of how we spend our Thursday evenings: participate in a warm-up, sing some hymns, have some treats, and work on an anthem that we will share together on Sunday May 11th during the Musical Offering. Hope to see you there!

At our March meeting, we were treated to a presentation by Jennifer Brookman, Manager of Operations at the Calgary Branch of Basically Babies, a not-for-profit organization. Jennifer gave us an energetic talk on this group which organizes and gifts one whole year’s worth of clothes and necessary articles - from birth to one year - to families in need of this support. Great care is taken to gather and provide colour coordinated, gently used clothing for this purpose.
For our May meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 13 Guild members will be making a day trip to the Basically Babies warehouse (#5, 2616-16th Street NE) for a tour. There will also be an opportunity, for those who wish, to volunteer sorting donated baby clothes.
We’ll be car-pooling from the church
with an earlier than usual start, meeting at 11:45.
The tour and volunteering orientation will begin at 12:30 p.m.
