• There is a nursery available for parents, babies and young children to use as needed, located through north-side door at the front of the sanctuary
• For school age children, “Praise Packs” with quiet toys and drawing materials are available as you come into the church. Ask a Greeter and they would be glad to assist you. Sunday School will resume in September.
• There are several locations of washrooms available: two off the corridor through the south-side door at the front of the sanctuary, and an accessible washroom located down the hall from the nursery.
• If you would like to support St. Andrew’s, the offering plates are located at both entrances as you come in.  There are Visitor envelopes for you at both locations. To donate online, visit our website pccweb.ca/standrews-sarnia and click on “Donate Now.”
