Grateful Thankful Blessed

This Easter season you saw some new faces and heard some new voices.  If you’ve been at St. Andrew’s a LONGGGGG time, there were a couple of those faces that were familiar from years ago - and we warmly welcome them back! We are so grateful that the following people said’ YES!’ when we asked them to be part of our Lenten readings this Easter season:  Rev. Laurie, Jon Cornea, Janet Remus, Jarrett Hoefling, Kathy Basaraba, Jenna Hanson, and Gladys Thuita ~ Thank you for sharing your gifts in our worship services.  You helped us worship well this Easter season!!

Everything you ever wanted to know about Baptism & Being a member of St. Andrew’s

Have you been wondering about having your child baptized?  Or being baptized yourself?  Have you been feeling that you would like to become a member of this congregation?  Or even wondering what it MEANS to be a member of a congregation?
Rev. Laurie would be happy to facilitate a class on either ~ or both ~ of those topics. If you are interested, please call the church office at 403.255.0001.  We will take your contact information, and be in touch with you if there is interest.
Thanks!   ~ Laurie & Deb

Grrrrr!!!!    Here we go again…

Grrrrr!!!! Here we go again…

Some of you, like me, may get an email ‘from Laurie McKay’ - NOT! - asking you to get in touch with her.  Laurie, like Peter before her, does not need you to purchase gift cards for her.  Or to send her money.  Please DO NOT respond to emails that come with any such requests.  The only thing Laurie is going to ask of you is your participation in worship or the life of our congregation - NOT to buy things for her.  ~ Deb
