There was plenty to celebrate on the first Sunday of October 2015! On this World Communion Sunday we celebrated the Sacrament of Holy Communion with our church family here in Fredericton and with our extended Christian family in churches all around the world. We also welcomed a new member to our local family through the Sacrament of Baptism, and as all families do, we honoured those among us with birthdays in the month of October.
The lesson of Mark 10:13-16 never rang so true!

The Session of Saint Andrew’s congregation strongly supports the sponsoring of a refugee family. About a year and a half ago a study group met for several weeks and looked at the issue of refugee sponsorship. The Mission Committee has discussed this at several meetings. At the September meeting of Session a recommendation to proceed was made. The first step is to seek a commitment of financial support. To that end we have distributed a sponsorship pledge form. In fact there are two forms with the hope that you might know someone who would also like to participate in the program. More information will be forthcoming. Copies of the form will be available at the back of the church and on the church website at sapc.ca.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration of this matter.
