St. Andrew's Sunday School

Sunday, February 9

Hi Everyone,

It's the Sunday before Valentine's Day and I think it's an especially important time to think about how we live out love in our lives. We have been learning the song 'Be Kind and compassionate' in Sunday School the last few weeks and it is quite the ear worm.  But humming it reminds us of those basics that Jesus teaches us to help us live in the world together.

Thanks to Aisling, Stacey and Nolan for teaching last week.  

This week, after worship, you're invited to come skating with your church friends!  Bring a lunch and head to the Rink of Dreams near City Hall for 1pm.  You can ask Aisling for more info.  I will be away for an out of town wedding on Saturday and I'm sad to miss the fun.  

Coming Up:

St. Andrew's has a number of things planned to celebrate Black History Month.  See the website for details. 

Feb. 22nd Coldest Night of the Year- fundraising walk for the Ottawa Mission.  Sign up to walk or donate here:https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?teamID=1026953&langPref=en-CA.

Feb. 23rd Congregational potluck after worship.

Lent drama team-During Lent the bible story will be presented as a short drama during Children's Time.  I'm looking for actors who would be willing to participate.  If this is something that interests you or your family please let me know.  You can be involved in one specific week (March 9-April 20), or more than one.  There are speaking and non-speaking parts.  You'd need to do some prep work (memorizing lines) and come to practice the week before you present. We'll do some prep for this in our First Sunday (youth group) next month too. 

Peace and blessings to each of you!

Rev. Heather Paton
