BIRTHDAYS, BEHEADINGS, AND A BIT OF THE BARRA MCNEILS

A strange bible story brings all this together, believe it or not, with a message for our lives and our times. At St. Andrew’s we gather, think, sing, pray and seriously make the connections. YOU are part of it all.

See you Sunday.

We Celebrate Pride

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to the Pride Parade last Saturday to walk with our rainbow banner and show support for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Halifax and beyond. What a way to celebrate with 30,000 other people!

At St. Andrew's, Pride is not just a week or a month where we put up flags and change our social media banners. We actively embrace and celebrate folks of all genders, as well as all sexual and romantic orientations. We stand for inclusion so everyone can participate fully and freely. ALL are welcome, ALL year round, ALL the time. We mean it!

P.S. We have pride stickers to give out, courtesy of Venus Envy, a local champion of all things pride, active diversity, and healthy sexuality.

Find them at the Coburg Rd entrance and on bulletin boards.

Another Blast From the Past

We have another past bulletin to share!

This bulletin is 39 years old, from March 1983, and it was discovered by two long time congregation members in their home. Check out how St. Andrew's was... and is... and will continue to be... a strong community of faith, a supportive community hub, a vibrant community for arts & culture, and an innovative community leader.

What about you?

Do you have other past bulletins, photos, newspaper articles, or any other archival items that you would like to pass to St. Andrew's?

Please feel free to bring them to the office or send them to Thunder.

Capella Regalis Girls Choir

Did you know that Capella Regalis - A free music education in a centuries-old tradition - is another choral group that calls St. Andrew's home? We are happy to support them in announcing the launch of their new Girls Choir!

Capella Regalis Men & Boys Choir was founded in Halifax by director Nick Halley in 2010 as a free, mentor-based music training program for boys. Now they are starting a parallel choir for girls.

They will launch in September 2022 with girls ages 7 - 13.

Can you support this initiative? Visit Capella Regalis Girls Choir Start-Up | Indiegogo to join the crowdfunding campaign. Every donation helps to bring a free music education to kids!

Do you know a child who likes to sing? Visit www.capellaregalis.com to learn about their programs for boys and girls and sign up for a simple audition.

All are welcome at St. Andrew's
