We are well into the season of Epiphany – that time after Christmas when our lectionary scripture readings focus on the divinity of Jesus and the nature of God. This Sunday we will explore what the Beatitudes reveal about the Creator of all that is.

Join us for our second annual Easter wreath-making workshop! 🌸🌿🎀
The Pastoral Care and Ministry Committees warmly invite members of the congregation to take part in our Second Annual Easter Wreath-Making Workshop to be held on Saturday, February 7th, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Kildonan Hall.
Led by Bobbie Cristofaro, this hands-on morning workshop will offer two meaningful opportunities. You can create a wreath at no cost for a member or adherent of our congregation who is unable to attend Sunday worship in person, or you can create a wreath for your own front door for a fee of $25 to cover the cost of materials. No prior experience is necessary. Bobbie will guide participants step-by-step, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and confident throughout the process.
Please register with our church office at info@standrewstpaul.com. Payment is required only if making a wreath for yourself. You may make your payment by cash or cheque at the office or by e-transfer to office@standrewstpaul.com. Participants wishing to make a wreath for themselves are asked to include payment of $25 to cover the cost of materials.
We hope you will join us for this creative and caring morning of service and fellowship.
“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.” Luke 12:48

Sinking into the sorrow of our times, we may feel surrounded by darkness. And yet, we are called as Christians to “repent, for the kingdom of God has come near.” The Biblical concept of “repentance” is not about shame or guilt. It simply means to be willing to look at things from a different perspective – to be open to a changed mind and a renewed heart. This Sunday, we will explore the deep wisdom and surprising power that can emerge when we shift our perspective and step into the light.
