The jailor responsible for watching over Paul and Silas, who on seeing their miraculous release from prison asked to be baptized, and had his family baptized at the same time, had the right idea. The trusted servant of the Queen of Ethiopia also chose to be baptized without delay. There is no time like the present to say yes to God.
“Come right now, Jesus,” sings Benjamin Dube here.

This coming Sunday Rev. Geoffrey is going to preach a sermon entitled ‘Say yes to God’.  It seemed to be an appropriate week to say THANKS to all who say YES as you are able.  This week Rev. Laurie and Lynn Judd head to Hamilton, Ontario to serve our congregation as participants at the 150th General Assembly.  Rev. Laurie has convened the Committee to Advise with the Moderator this year, and will present the report and host the Prayer Room;  Lynn Judd is a commissioner from Calgary-Macleod Presbytery and the Representative Elder from St. Andrew’s.  We are grateful to them for serving in this way, and pray they have a productive and enriching week.  There are many, MANY of you who say YES to God each and every day as we seek to grow life together in this place.
We are grateful… we are thankful… we are blessed.

The Rainbow Team invites the congregation to join them at Sunday worship on June 8, 2025. June 8 is Pentecost Sunday, the celebration of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, representing a time for us all to reflect on spiritual growth and renewal.
The Rainbow Team will be assisting in the leadership of the June 8 service in recognition of the fact that June
is also National Pride month in Canada.
In celebration of Pentecost Sunday, when Christians often wear red to reflect the fire of the Holy Spirit, and of Pride month when communities particularly feature rainbow colours, we invite the congregation to join our Team in wearing
bright and colourful clothes on June 8!
Thanks from the Rainbow Team

St. Andrew’s Indigenous Relations Team (IRT) are looking for a small group of volunteers to help with hosting both the Elder’s and the Parent’s Teepees the morning of June 21st at Heritage Park’s annual National Indigenous Day Powwow.
We are honoured to be given this unique opportunity to strengthen our relations amongst our Indigenous neighbors as we together share food and enjoy their traditional Powwow practices.
If you are interested to be involved and would like more information about this unique volunteer opportunity, please send your name and contact information to Margaret Bruhjell-Holmes at margaretbh0809@gmail.com

As part of our Mother's Day tradition, we celebrated our graduating Grade 6 students by gifting them The Message—a contemporary version of the Bible that combines the authority of God's Word with the rhythm and energy of everyday language. This year, we congratulate Inara Barrett, Charles Boehm, and Eleanor Hume on their graduation from Grade 6. Charles was present in church on May 11th to represent the class.  While we have no students graduating from Grade 12 this year, two of last year’s graduates took a gap year and have now made plans for further study – Marcos Aburto at UBC and Kierra Huthersall at U of C. We wish them well!
Mark your calendars! Our End of Church School Party will take place on June 1st. Regular church school will continue through June 22nd, after which it will pause for the summer and resume in the fall.
For our younger children (ages 5 and under) who may find it difficult to sit through the full service, the nursery is available. There, they can enjoy coloring, reading, or even watch the service online. Additionally, age-appropriate activity sheets are always available at the back of the sanctuary for families to use during the service.

• People prefer to receive their communications primarily from LinX, ConnXions, Announcements from the Pulpit and Pre-Worship Slides.
• We appreciate your responses and will continue to provide these services.
• We are encouraged by the number of people who access our website directly.

Presbyterians Sharing (the national church fund that supports mission and ministry in Canada and around the world) would like  to express thanks for the generous gifts to Presbyterians Sharing, and have a video that shows how these gifts are making a difference.

Why does the church emphasize right relations with Indigenous Peoples? Why is the Presbyterian Church apologizing? We didn't personally harm, so why are we seeking reconciliation?
