This Sunday
one of philosophy’s first problems drives our worship:
the problem of the one and the many.
How do we
understand diversity with unity?
reconcile diversity with unity?
live with diversity IN UNITY?
Maybe start singing the words of our opening hymn now:
we are one as we come, joyful to be here...
See you Sunday.

Sunday Service

Guess what? We are updating our website and we need some brand new photos to showcase who we are as an inclusive, welcoming and vibrant community on the corner of Coburg & Robie.
This Sunday, Pat MacDonald will be at Sunday service capturing some photos of us in action- including coffee time, greeters at the doors, and the service. During the service, he will likely be in the balcony or on the sides, to be as minimally disruptive as possible.
Please join us this Sunday to support the photos and be captured as part of the beauty that is St. Andrew's!

Brunswick Street Mission
Christmas Program
|
|
Preparations are starting for the Brunswick Street Mission Christmas program.
We will be supporting families and individuals with a food hamper, including all the trimmings, for a festive holiday meal, and providing toys for the children.
We would also like to give a special stocking for the adults! Our clients are so appreciative of the Christmas support and are surprised that they too are getting a little something for themselves. It puts an extra smile on their face and brightens their day.
|
|
We are seeking your help with items to fill these stockings. Any item on the following list would be greatly appreciated:
Toothbrushes & paste, bar soaps, small bottles of shampoo & conditioner, deodorant, shaving cream & razors, dental floss, small bottles of hand sanitizer, small tubes of hand cream or body lotion, lip balm, small bags/ boxes of candy or chocolates, energy bars.
|
|
These items are needed by Dec 10th and can be placed in the BSM box in the Sanctuary at the Coburg Entrance or can be left at the office in the teal bin. If you are unable to bring the items to the church, they can be picked up.
We can also use any extra cloth bags you wish to donate.
