Dear Friends

I had some interesting conversations, about perfect Christmases, following worship yesterday. Some folks were reflecting on what is important, as we mark the birthday of the One, who came to earth to be God with us.  I have been enjoying working my way through Mike Slaughter’s book, Christmas is Not Your Birthday.
.
Last weekend, the Board coordinated the Annual Christmas Bake Sale, with lots of support from the community.
.
On Wednesday of this week at 1:30, there will be an afternoon, of Scones and Carols.  Cheryl Mielke will play the music for those who gather to sing.  There will be scones and hot and cold drinks, following the singing.  If you are able to come, why not invite a friend, and join in the carol singing.
.
On Thursday, there is Prayer Group at 9 a.m., and the final Euchre before Christmas at 1 p.m., and the Bible Study in the evening on Philippians.
.
The St Andrew’s Youth will gather for a Wii Night, and Christmas Activities on Friday from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
.
On Saturday at Grace St Andrew’s United Church, a carol service, in support of The Fountain.  It will be held at 7 p.m.
.
On Sunday December 11th,  at our worship, the candle of joy will be lit.  There will be an opportunity to share with the local food bank. Gifts for the Christmas Family are to be brought in, wrapped and ready.  A Pot Luck Lunch will follow the service.  Hoping you can stay and enjoy the fellowship.
.
Hoping that as you prepare for Christmas, you are experiencing the hope, peace, joy and love, of this season of waiting and preparation.
.
Blessings
.
Rev. Milton Fraser
