April 17 - Easter Sunday - To See the Empty Tomb - Rev. Peter

On Easter we stand alongside the apostle John in looking into the empty tomb. It changed him and it has changed us. We will hear stories of people who were changed by what they saw.

you can read  John 20: 1 - 10 

During Sunday Worship, here are activity sheets (based on today’s scripture reading) for all ages and stages:
3+   7+   Youth    Adult

Outside the city walls stands the weeping tree. In silence she lifts her weary arms against the darkened sky.

Outside the city walls stands the weeping tree. In silence she lifts her weary arms against the darkened sky.

Please join us in person or livestreamed for our Good Friday Service at 10:00 am on April 15th

The Weeping Tree is a poignant rendering of the cross that uses beloved hymns, newly composed music, thoughtful narration and simple sacred symbols to create a touching testament of grace on Good Friday. The St. Andrew's choir will be joined by violinists Sara and Rena Far, and percussionist Malcolm Lim, to bring this favorite of St. Andrew's back.

The Faith Formation Team tries to create a little light in our students’ lives by organizing gift cards for them during the Christmas and spring exam periods. The angels responsible for the spring 2022 gifts include Cathy Millar, Lori-ann Esser, Inge Murray, Elizabeth Dolan, Barbara Kearnes, Kevin MacFarlane, Sharon Burrill, Arlene Young, Stephanie Werle and Rhonda Wishart. Many thanks to you all!
