The Annual Meeting

Blair Banks — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:13:17 +0000

The meeting will be February 5 immediately following worship. We will begin with a Pot Luck Lunch. A signup sheet is posted on the Church Events bulletin board. Please sign up to bring sandwiches, cookies/squares or veggies/pickles. This meeting is a chance for us to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and to plan for the future. We will be considering a proposal to repair our steeple. Maintaining our building is essential to establish our presence and visibility in the community. We also will hear a proposal to sponsor the digging of wells in Africa. This is in keeping with our focus on “Food and Water” as a theme for mission and worship. Please plan to attend.

Loaves and Fishes Food Bank

Blair Banks — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:11:11 +0000

The ministerial association of Uxbridge has agreed to support the food bank by each one of the churches taking a month during the year and contributing a specific item to the food bank. Concentrating on a specific item means that high use items are replenished, and simplifies the sorting process. January is St. Andrew’s Chalmers month to contribute. Please bring cans of tomatoes or Pork and Beans for our contribution.

Rev. Ted is leading a “Small Group in Spiritual Formation”. We are reflecting on the blessings of Jesus (the Beatitudes) as they apply to our own experience and the whole of the Bible. It’s not too late to join. A few books are still available. There are two group meetings, each Wednesday, at 9:30 mornings and 7:30 evenings. A Facebook group has been setup which anyone can join. It is named “The Way of Blessedness”. Check it out.

For the next few months we will be collecting personal hygiene products to help our inner city mission, Evangel Hall, through the winter. Items such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo, hand sanitizer and any other items for cleanliness would be greatly appreciated. A basket has been placed at the back of the sanctuary for your contributions. Any monetary donations would also help our efforts. Please speak to Blair or Kathy Banks.
