Dear Friends,
This Sunday, St. Andrew’s Session members, under the spiritual leadership of Dan Schley, will lead the congregation in a Presbyterians Sharing Sunday worship. This will be an opportunity for us, as an essential part of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, to “celebrate the generosity of Presbyterians across Canada using gifts given by God to carry out Christ’s ministry in our communities and around the world.” Your ongoing prayers and support for Presbyterians Sharing have been instrumental in proclaiming Good News and God’s love for all in His created world.
Thanks to those who participated in the Operation Christmas Child project. These gift and love-filled shoe boxes are making their way.
For your information, sermons and/or presentations in our services are recorded. Most of the videos are posted on our website: https://www.pccweb.ca/standrewsff and our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaintAndrewsFF. Please note that some videos (mostly presentations) are uploaded on YouTube as unlisted. You can only view them by using the links, which are usually shared with you through Sunday service information emails.
