St. Andrew's Sunday School

Sunday, April 6

Hi Everyone,

I saw some bulbs sprouting up in the sunshine yesterday!  What a great sign of spring!  I love when this time of year lines up with the celebration of new life in Christ at Easter.  We have a few more weeks to go and lots to help us gather and prepare at St. Andrew's

Attached you'll find a survey from the worship and music team.  You can send me your replies or fill out a copy at church on Sundays in April and leave it in one of the boxes provided.  Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

This week we're looking at the story of Zaccheus.  If you'd like to be part of the crowd in the drama on Sunday, plan to arrive at 9:30am sharp! 

Next week, April 13th , is Palm Sunday.  We will have a 'Palm Procession' which means that we're looking for children who would like to walk into the sanctuary waving palm fronds and branches.  Instead of sitting in the pews at the beginning of the service, they can gather in Grant Hall and we'll walk in together.  

We'll also have a potluck lunch after worship next Sunday! Bring a dish to share or just come and enjoy the company.

Don't forget to participate in the Easter Blood Drive.  https://www.standrewsottawa.ca/blood-donation.  There are still a number of spots available.  

Coming Up:

Maundy Thursday April 17, 6pm Greek meal and worship to follow in St. Andrew's Hall at 7pm. Tickets are being sold after worship. We'll walk through some of Jesus' last moments with his disciples at the table, in the garden and around the fire. It will be reflective and interactive.  

Easter Sunday, April 20th- Breakfast before worship and a party in Church School!  Come for a wonderful celebration of new life in Jesus!

I wish you a weekend filled with restful moments and reminders of God's love for you.

Rev. Heather Paton
