Children’s Program Information
Children’s Bulletins (for ages 4-6 & 7-12), are located at the entrance to the Sanctuary. They usually contain activities based on the Scriptures used in worship today. If you are a guest you may wish to accompany your child to their Church School class, following Children’s Time. As part of our “Leading with Care” policy, parents are asked to pick up their children from their classes at the end of the Service.
Our Summer Church School Program
Children ages 3 and older are invited to take part in a “One Room Church School” for the Summer months. We will meet downstairs in the classroom off of the Church Hall. The Nursery is located downstairs off the main hallway.
We are a “Leading with Care” community.

St. Andrew’s Prayer Shawl Group
If anyone is aware of a person who is in
need of receiving a Prayer Shawl please let
Rev. Laura or the church office know.
Thank you!
“Take Out Church”
As you travel this summer take a bit of St. Andrew’s with you! “Take Out Church” boxes are available for pick-up from the resource table. They contain stories of God’s invitation, wondering
questions and beautiful colouring pages all set to fit easily into your car!
SUMMER REFLECTION
The life and ministry of the church continues all summer long and that means we still have bills to pay, benevolent needs to meet, missions to support and (currently) a deficit to reduce.
As you enjoy the sunshine and God’s great outdoors, we ask that you remember St. Andrew’s in your weekly offerings through your envelopes, post-dated cheques, or PAR contributions.
Thank you for your ongoing support! Happy Summer!
Rolling River Rampage
Thank You to everyone who made Camp
such a wonderful week! We had a great time on the river as we experienced the ride of a
lifetime with God!

Backpacks of Blessing
This summer, when you are shopping for back to school, could you add some new pencil crayons, or markers, or an extra backpack to your list?
In past years, we have invited students to bring their back packs to be blessed and remember that God is with them always -even at school.
This year, we thought that it would be wonderful to share God’s love with other students who are also heading back to class but might not have school supplies for the fall.
Please bring any school supplies you gather & your own backpack to be blessed on September 9, 2018.
