Epiphany 6: Brightening the Doorway - Fruitfulness in Parched Places - Dr. Tim

February 13, 2022 – 10:00 am Sunday Worship Service

Who do you trust? Some find it hard to trust. In many ways trust is an invisible thing. You can’t really see trust. It’s more of an internal disposition—the bent of your heart and mind. But if you could see trust—what might it look like? Jeremiah gives us an idea this Sunday—hope you can join us.
To prepare for this week’s service, you can read  Jeremiah 17: 5-10 
During Sunday Worship, here are activity sheets for all ages & stages:
3+   7+   Youth    Adult
Please join us for in-person worship at 10:00 Sunday morning (no need to register); or use the link below which will be updated Sunday morning by 9:30 am to take you to our live streamed service.

St. Andrew’s and the Road to Reconciliation

St. Andrew’s and the Road to Reconciliation

Please join the Mission Team at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, in welcoming back Ernie Poundmaker, Wallace Alexson and Perry Agicotay.

 These Indigenous elders and neighbours first visited St. Andrew’s on October 13, 2021, to talk about their experiences with Residential Schools. They are returning to participate with us in a Sharing Circle as the first steps on the Road to Reconciliation. This is an important event marking the beginning the healing process between the people of St. Andrew’s and our Indigenous neighbours. Sharing Circles often are known as Healing Circles and are led by First Nations elders as a way to allow people to share their feelings and ask questions in an intimate and caring environment. The elders who lead these circles have many years of experience and knowledge in First Nations customs. They have put their trust in us to follow through on our good intentions. We would be grateful to have Session’s and the Congregation’s support at this event. Our Sharing Circle will be a hybrid time of sharing, with people invited to participate in person in Trinity Hall (proof of vaccination, masks and distancing are required).
