Growing Life Together with God

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
StAC LinX Email for November 2, 2022
Sunday, Nov 6 - “We Shall Remember Them.”

Sunday, Nov 6 - “We Shall Remember Them.”

Rev. Peter / Guest Musician: Andrew Leitch, trumpet

 A traditional saying on Remembrance Day is “We Shall Remember Them.” On this Sunday we will remember different people whose service and sacrifice are remembered  through their names given to some of our  city’s bridges, roads and buildings.  
And what of those who made the ultimate sacrifice that are not remembered in these ways?
Activity sheets for children are available by CLICKING HERE and will be available at the back of the Sanctuary

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

Many of us memorized In Flanders Fields when we were in school, but maybe not that many of us know much about the author.  A couple of facts.  John McCrae was born in Ontario;  and he grew up in a Presbyterian home that gave him a deep sense of his duty to use his gifts in the service of others.

Opportunity to thank Jean Morris

Opportunity to thank Jean Morris

          The Rev. Dr. M. Jean Morris will retire on Dec. 31, 2022 after 36 plus years of ministry with the PCC, with more than 34 of those years serving in the Presbytery of Calgary-Macleod. Jean first came to Calgary in 1988 where she served as Associate Minister at St. Andrew’s for 3 years, and she has been no stranger to St Andrew’s ever since, leading worship on a number of occasions, serving as Interim Moderator during our lengthy search for a Lead Minister and providing much needed wisdom, guidance and support during her time as General Presbyter.
          It is our hope that Jean will be able to lead worship at St Andrew’s one more time before she retires, at which time we will present her a gift from the congregation in celebration of her many years of excellence in leadership at the Congregational, Presbytery and National levels.
          Members of the congregation are invited to make a donation in the amount of their choosing towards a gift for Jean to mark this milestone event. Please enclose your donation in an envelope clearly marked “Gift for Jean Morris” and give it to either Debby or Dolly in the church office or put it in the offering plate and the counters will make sure it reaches Dolly. The deadline for getting your donation to the church office is Thursday, Nov. 24.
          We will also happily receive your cards and good wishes congratulating Jean on her retirement and these too may be left in the church office. Thank you for your participation as we acknowledge Jean’s retirement and give thanks for all the ways she has deeply touched so many lives.
