Volunteering in 2017 – Saint Andrew’s is blessed with many volunteers. Please consider joining this dedicated group by adding your name to the volunteer roster for 2017. Opportunities include: Offering Counter, Offering Receiver, Greeter, Scripture Reader, Coffee Hour Host, Nursery Helper or Church School Teacher. If you are interested in helping in any of these areas please contact the office. The new roster will begin in January.
Next Saturday, November 19, you are invited to gather in the Church Hall. Our invited guest, Stephen Allen, will lead us through a time of learning. He will use material entitled “The Blanket Exercise”. Coffee and conversation will begin at 9:30 with the exercise at 10:00. At noon lunch will be served. All are welcome. If you plan to attend you can let us know by signing the sheet at the back, speaking to Reverend Blaikie or by way of our web page. If you decide at the last minute, you are still welcome as pre-registration is only intended to provide us with an estimate. (This is a morning only event)
Stephen has been working out of our national office and is the Associate Secretary for Justice Ministry. He will be with us for worship on next Sunday, November 20.
