Prayer – “Pocket Prayers For Friends” by Max Lucado – simple prayers that bring joy and serenity.

A fascinating book called “Angels By My Side”, by Betty Maiz.

Two new adult DVD’s – “God Is Not Dead 1” – story of a university student who challenges his professor of Philosophy who declares God is dead. “God Is Not Dead 2” – story of a high school teacher’s response to a student’s question about Jesus and lands her in deep trouble.

We found a new children’s book – “The Tale of Three Trees” by Angela Elwell Hunt. It is a folktale and is well written and beautifully illustrated.

You are always welcome to drop by the library and check out our books, DVD’s, and our selection of bibles and reference book. You can talk to Jeanne Alexander, Irene Dimanis or any other member of our team that is on duty.

The Prayer Team

This group meets to pray for the care and concern of the congregation.

Evangel Hall

Evangel Hall LogoEvangel Hall, located in Toronto is a mission of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Evangel Hall reaches out to the homeless and afflicted people of Toronto. The hall provids food, shelter, support, clothing and caters to the emotional and spiritual nees of the community. Every year we collect personal toiletry items for the people using Evangel Hall. Products such as toothpaste, brushes, soaps, shampoo, razors, sunblock etc. can be left in the basket at the back of the sanctuary. This fall the mission Committee will again be collecting winter jackets, hats, scarves, boots etc. for Evangel Hall. With the growth and use of our Church facilities there is a shortage of storage space for these items, therfore we will begin our collection in September. Your continued support is greatly appreciated. Contact – Kathy Banks (905) 852-0001

Mission To The World

In addition to the support we give through Presbyterian Sharing and Presbyterian World Service & Development, St. Andrew’s – Chalmers also supports two missions directly.

  • Francisco Coll School for children of families living in a dump near Guatemala City.
