Our Church School is once again hosting our Annual Apple Picking visit on Saturday, October 5th! Due to heavy traffic and long delays heading out to the Quinn Farm area, we have decided to change our Apple Picking venue to the South Shore this Saturday to Petch Orchards, located at 431 Route 202, Hemmingford, Quebec. Please meet at the church at 10:00 a.m. for our bus transportation. The bus will be leaving Petch Orchards at 3:00 p.m. to return to the church. You are encouraged to bring a lunch to enjoy on picnic tables scattered throughout the orchard. Apple bags range in price from $9 through $25 depending on the size of bag you’d like.

Please confirm your attendance with Sharon at churchschool@standrewstpaul.com or phone 514-755-0313

To all walkers (or cyclists!), you are invited to join our “Team St. Andrew and St. Paul of Montreal” as we help raise money for our friends at Action Refuge. The walk will be held on Saturday, October 5th. We will meet at 4322 rue Wellington in Verdun at 10:30 a.m. You can participate in either the 2.5km walk, the 5km walk, or the 10km ride. If you’re interested in learning more about this event, please talk to Rev. Susan Brasier or our team captain Aaron Law at aaronlaw1997@gmail.com. If you would like to donate to this cause, please visit the link here. Hope to see you there!

ROGER SAYER, the organist who worked with HANS ZIMMER to create the soundtrack for the blockbuster film INTERSTELLAR, is marking the 10th anniversary of the film with a worldwide tour culminating in five concerts across Canada. Since the release of the movie 10 years ago, the music from INTERSTELLAR has developed a huge following, introducing the organ to many audiences for the first time.

SAYER will share his experience of working with composer ZIMMER and director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN, two living geniuses of cinema, before playing his own transcription of all the epic hits from the soundtrack on the organ, the instrument that ZIMMER specifically used to express the wonder and mystery of space. “He [Sayer] is without doubt an extraordinary artist whose humanity shines in the impeccable artistry that flows from his hands” (ZIMMER).

SAYER has presented INTERSTELLAR 10 to sold-out audiences in Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom and Europe.

Program includes:

Opening theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey ( Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss)
selections from The Planets by Gustav Holst
A special screening of a brief documentary about the creation of the Interstellar soundtrack followed by Q&A with Roger Sayer
Interstellar soundtrack hits!

On Sunday, October 13th, The Heritage and Ministry Committees invite you to join us in Kildonan Hall after the worship service to discover the secrets of our hidden treasure – The Clerestory Memorial Windows in The Church of Saint Andrew and Saint Paul – usually referred to as the Memorial Book or the Book of Remembrance. A powerpoint presentation will reveal Lawrence Lee’s paintings of his windows and Sheila Waters’ golden illuminations and innovative calligraphy. A new publication, The Book of Remembrance: A Guide to Our Illuminated Treasure, will be available for purchase. The manuscript itself will be on display.
