Oct 8, 2023 - Thanksgiving - “In ALL Things”Rev. Peter Coutts The apostle Paul famously wrote, “Give thanks in all circumstances.” Really?!? How is that possible! Why would we want to? We’ve all found ourselves in circumstances for which thankfulness was the last thing on our minds. But there is a deep wisdom in this encouragement, and we will explore it.

We are grateful TO Peter, we are thankful FOR Peter, and we are blessed BY Peter
Clergy Appreciation Day is the second Sunday in October, and all of October is celebrated as Clergy Appreciation Month. The celebration was established in 1992 with a mission of uplifting and encouraging pastors, missionaries and religious workers. Peter is now our Interim Moderator ~ however, I don’t think there IS an ‘Interim Moderator Day’... so… if you feel you would like to uplift and encourage our Interim Moderator this month, I’m sure a smile and an ‘I appreciate you’ would be MOST appropriate the next time you see Peter! And Clergy Appreciation Day this year just happens to be Thanksgiving Sunday. I think it’s MORE than appropriate to express thanks for Peter’s presence in our midst ~ no matter his role! ~ Deb |
" It's Back!"
One minute can make a difference in a life. Can you imagine what 150 minutes could do? On Saturday, October 28th the Faith Formation Team is offering parents/grandparents 150 minutes to themselves when they drop off children (Grades 1 - 6) at St. Andrew’s (Karl English Lounge). The children get to enjoy a dinner together, along with fun, games and activities.
