Love of Learning Bursary
The St. Andrew’s Love of Learning Student Bursary is the result of generous congregational donations to fund additional bursaries in 2026. 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 Canada. Applicants are assessed on their sincere desire to expand personal goals and visions. Financial needs, not academic needs, are the main consideration in awarding this bursary, which is administered by the Board of Trustees of St. Andrew’s. Applications will be accepted up to Friday, May 22 and are available through the church office by contacting: office.coordinator@standrewskw.com
Search Team Update
The search team for the next Lead Minister continues its work. 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.
Choir and Handbell Ringers Welcoming New Members
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!
Updated Digital, Audio, Photography Policy
St. Andrew’s has recently updated our digital, audio, and photography policy for worship services. This update, approved by Session, includes a reminder that worship services may be live streamed, and as such, individuals attending in person may appear on camera. The updated policy has been posted outside the Sanctuary
Opportunities to Give & Serve
Love Of Learning
Let’s help St. Andrew’s and area students attain their educational goals through our Bursary Program. Simply donate by cash, cheque or e-transfer to St. Andrew’s, clearly marking Love Of Learning on the memo line. You will receive a tax credit. Thanks for your support of this ministry.
Food4Kids
Food4Kids is currently looking for volunteer delivery drivers to help support their Waterloo Region program. Each week, delivery drivers play a big role in making sure the children receive their food on time—and Food4Kids could use some extra helping hands behind the wheel. If you have access to a vehicle and a bit of time to spare, this is a great way to make a direct and meaningful impact in your community. Deliveries take place on Fridays with pickup times between 9am-11am, or Thursday if there is a PD day or holiday. They are looking for drivers to deliver to Cambridge, Kitchener or Waterloo on a casual or more permanent basis. For more information contact Food4Kids at volunteer@food4kidswr.ca or (519)576-3443.
Food Hamper Program
We are excited to announce the start of our Food Hamper program through the Foodbank of Waterloo Region which we are calling, ‘Neighbourhood Food Program’. It runs on Sunday’s from 12:30pm to 1:30pm in Iona Hall. This is a joint effort with Nexus. We are looking for volunteers to help us receive the food items on Fridays between 10:30am and 11am and to put items away. If you are interested in helping, even just once a month, please reach out to Kaitlyn in the office.
Camp K Subsidy Program
Every year Camp K has a subsidy program which allows children who wouldn’t otherwise be able to, attend camp for one week. It takes $350 to send 1 child to camp for a week under the program, but donations of any amount are greatly appreciated! If you’d like to help send more children to camp please click here and use the drop down to find Camp K Subsidy.
Donation Wish list for Camp K
We have created an Amazon donation wish list with items we’re hoping to gather for the 2026 camp season. If anyone is interested in supporting Camp K in this way, the link can be found here at this link.
Volunteers Needed for St. Andrew’s Tech Crew
We are looking for passionate and committed volunteers to join the Audio-Visual Team. Whether you are tech-savy or just eager to learn, there's a place for you. If you are interested, or want to learn more, contact the office or make your way up to the balcony after any Sunday service
Team Outreach (formerly Missions)
Mite cans
Whether you are five, or 55, anyone can start a mite can and contribute to local missions. Find a can, jar, cup, bottle, or container that you will use to collect coins and cash in for the year. Next, print off the label (which you can find here) or decorate your can as you wish. P.s. you can also support the Mite Can ministry with cheques, e-transfers or online donations (just mark them “mite can”). At the end of the year, we call everyone to empty their jars and bring their change to the church. The money is then distributed to our community partners for projects that impact our community.
Who we support - We support downtown community partners, including The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, The Working Centre, and Camino Wellbeing. To learn more, please visit this link.
Food Not Bombs
Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer movement that creates hot vegan soups and vegetarian meals that are distributed on Saturdays to hungry people at Kitchener City Hall. St. Andrew’s and St. Peter’s supports FNB by collecting 750 ml plastic yogurt containers which are filled with the meals. These containers are needed on a continual basis! You can help by bringing your clean yogurt containers to the church office. For more information and to sign up to volunteer with them see the following link: https://linktr.ee/foodnotbombskw
