Meghan Mair Graduation Recital
Our choral scholar, soprano Meghan Mair, is having her graduation recital this week! This Thursday, April 24th at 4:00pm, everyone is invited to come to the Maureen Forrester Recital Hall at Wilfred Laurier University to show their support and hear some beautiful music! The recital is titled “Walk Good: Songs of Love, Longing, and Home.” The recital will feature works by Franz Schubert, Matthew Emery, Jules Massenet, Gabriel Fauré, and more! Accompanying Meghan will be pianist Susan Black and the recital will also feature cellist Yvon Arseneault. We hope to see you there!

St. Andrew’s-Brechbill Bursary 2025
The St. Andrew’s-Brechbill Student Bursary Award was established in recognition of the very generous financial bequest from the Brechbill Estate. The purpose of the award, as outlined in the bequest, is to enable post-secondary students to attend, or continue to attend an accredited university or college in Ontario. Applicants are assessed on their sincere desire to expand their personal goals and visions. Financial needs, not academic needs, are the main consideration in awarding of this bursary which is administered by the Board of Trustees of St. Andrew’s. Applications will be accepted up to Friday May 23 and are available at the office or by emailing office.coordinator@standrewskw.com.

Spring 2025 Noon Hour Concert Series
Noon hour concerts will be starting up again soon! We have an excellent lineup of musicians this Spring which you can view above. The Spring 2025 Series will take place on Wednesdays at 12:15pm beginning on April 30th and ending on June 18th.

As always, admission to the building is free, and a sandwich lunch is available for purchase prior to each recital from 11:30 am - 12:15 pm. You can also watch the performance via livestream on our YouTube channel. We can’t wait to share another great musical season with you!

Gift Cards
Are you a shopper for groceries, gas or the occasional coffee? Then gift cards are for YOU and not only to gift to others. Gift cards are easy to use at the checkout and you receive the full value of the card. The Women's Association makes on average 4% rebate from the retailer. The W.A. is currently raising money to help fund office renovations for Ann-Marie McDairmid, our Music Director, and also to provide valuable storage for the church archives.

Women's Association Cookbook
Presbyterian Procrastinators - the timer is ticking. You only have a few days left to submit your recipes for the W.A.'s Cookbook prior to the April 30th deadline. Each contributor is welcome to make multiple submissions to standrewskwwa@gmail.com or drop off your recipe in the office or at the gift card sales table this Sunday.

Choir and Handbell Ringers Welcoming New Members
A new year has begun, and if you'd like to try something new in 2025, the St. Andrew's Sanctuary Choir is always welcoming new choristers! If you're looking for something fun to do, singing in a choir is a healthy, social, and rewarding hobby to take up. Choir rehearsals take place Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 pm in the sanctuary, and the choir meets at 9:00 am Sunday mornings to prepare before services. Contact the office to sign up. We hope to have you come sing with us!

The St. Andrew's Handbell Ringers are also looking for new members. If you've never tried playing the handbells, now is your chance! Rehearsals for the Handbell Ringers are Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:00pm in the choir room. Contact the church office to sign up. We'd love to have you!
