Happy Birthday to Us!

Thanks to all who joined us last night for a very informative and entertaining talk on the history of St. Andrew’s and the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Thanks also go to Rev. D. Stuart Macdonald for speaking, and to Robert Revington for organizing the event.

To coincide with our 150th anniversary, there is a virtual museum exhibit. Please walk down memory lane with this wonderful and informative exhibit.

We are also selling St. Andrew’s Anniversary mugs for $20.00. They will be available at church for the next few weeks.

Today is also Remembrance Sunday at our church. Let us remember the sacrifice of many for the freedom we have today, and let us remember these two wonderful men who served their country and our church so faithfully.

Important Information for In-Person Service

Please see attached the contact tracing form to this email. One form must be completed per family each week. You may print your own and bring it to church, or additional copies will be at church for you to fill out when you arrive.

St. Andrew’s Contact Tracing Form

  1. Please enter the church via the Victoria St. doors.
  2. Proceed through the hall, and stop at the check in. If you have printed and completed your contact tracing and screening questionnaire, please leave that at the check in. If you have not completed it ahead of time, you will complete one at the check in. You will also pick up your elements for Communion here.
  3. Walk to the end of the hallway, and enter the church Narthex. A greeter will meet you here and direct you where to sit. Please enter the Sanctuary from the centre aisle. Some pews have been blocked off to allow for distancing. The middle portion of each pew is also blocked off to allow for distancing. Please only sit with other members of your household.
  4. After the service is over, worshippers will leave the sanctuary starting with the pews at the back of the church. Please exit via the Mosley St. doors.
  5. Masks must be worn at all times. If you are a reader for the week, you will go up to the front, take off your mask, read, put your mask back on, and then sit back down.
  6. The bathrooms will be open.
  7. There will be no fellowship in the church hall after the service. Hopefully it will be a nice day, and we can have some time for fellowship on the lawn.
  8. Right now, children’s programs will continue to be online, via email each week.

We are in need of volunteers to help with the service – as greeters, readers, to run the AV, to help sanitize after the service, and to be at our check in area. Please email me or Rev. Soong if you can help.

If you have any questions, please reach out to any member of Session, or to Soong.

Have a blessed week!
