Upcoming Congregational Meeting
There will be a congregational meeting on Sunday Jan.18, 2026 after the service in the Elizabeth Room with the purpose to approve a motion that the Congregation of St. Andrew’s approve the trust fund request, from the Property Committee, to transfer $30,000 from the Trust Funds to cover the unbudgeted emergency repairs to the hot water heating system and the steam heating system in the church. The Kirk Session recommends to the congregation the approval of the expenditure. We have suffered a leak in the hot water heating unit in the front hall of Queen Street entrance near the Covenant Chapel. We also had to do some repair of large steam traps underneath the Sanctuary. Also, a major repair had to be undertaken of the steam boiler.

Join the Choir/Handbells
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. 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!

Search Team Update
The search team for the next Lead Minister continues its work and met again last week. We are receiving profiles from interested applicants. If you are aware of someone who should prayerfully consider the role of Lead Minister please forward them the information and/or share their name with the search team. We are advertising the role in various places in Canada and beyond. We give thanks for the prayers of the people of St. Andrew’s during this process.

St. Andrew’s Cookbooks
Thank you for your contributions to the St. Andrew's Cookbook. They have arrived and will be available for sale during coffee after church on Sundays. Cost is $20 per book, or 2 for $30.

Gift Cards
Please keep in mind that a wide selection of gift cards are available through the W. A. gift card program. The list of cards we carry year round are available in the church office and Sundays at the gift card table. If cards are purchased through the W.A. we receive a sellers commission from the retailer and put the funds to work maintaining St Andrew’s historic building for use by the church and community. Thank you for your support of this fund raiser for the Women’s Association.
