"Refreshing" the Parish Prayer List
Praying for our loved ones at time of need on the parish prayer list is a central part of our worship and church life. We would like to remind you that at the beginning of every month, we "refresh" the prayer list. We remove names of people for whom we have been asked to pray if we have not heard that you wish us to keep your loved one on the list for the next month. We are happy to keep people on the list for as long as they are in need of our prayers. However, our pro-active approach helps prevent a build up of people on the list after the need for our prayers for that person has passed. Thanks for your help with this.

Prayers for Outreach Partners
We have started a practice of praying each week for one of the St. Andrew's outreach partners in the Prayers of the People. The outreach partners are charities that the parish supports with our time and donations from our parish budget. The aim of this new practice is both to hold the work of these charities in our prayers, and to familiarize the congregation with the different charities we support as we put our faith into action as a parish.
