Growing Life Together with God

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
LinX Email for March 8, 2023
Sunday, Mar12: Surprising Conversations

Sunday, Mar12: Surprising Conversations

Rev. Clay Kuhn

Jesus encounters a woman at a well in Samaria and engages her in a “deep” and meaningful conversation.  This leads to unexpected results.

For those who have not met Clay,
here is some information so we can get to know him:

The Rev. Clay Kuhn has served smaller congregations from coast to coast.  He retired from St. Paul’s, Banff last year and moved to Calgary.  He enjoys playing music with the band “Out on Good Behaviour”, spending time with family, and supporting the ministry at Knox Presbyterian Church.

PCC Statement in Response to Research Findings by Tseshaht First Nation

PCC Statement in Response to Research Findings by Tseshaht First Nation

On February 21, Tseshaht First Nation released findings from the search of the former Alberni Residential School in British Columbia, which was operated by The Presbyterian Church in Canada until 1925. The findings verified the deaths of 67 students and ground penetrating radar identified 17 possible unmarked graves. The PCC has released a statement acknowledging the findings and the profound harm the church has caused.The church prays for healing for all those who grieve and reaffirms its deep commitment to working for healing, reconciliation and redress.
