St. Andrew's Sunday School

Sunday, June 1

Hello Everyone,

I heard an interview with singer Carrie Newcomer this week.  I hadn't heard her music before but I am finding it a comfort this week.  She told the story about writing this song as it was something she said to her children and I thought it would be helpful to share with you.

Thanks to Josh, Afua, and Jonathan for leading Sunday School last week.  

This Sunday is communion and the children will be coming back into the sanctuary to enjoy the sacrament together.  We will sit together as a church school though children are always welcome to return to their families at this time.  

Coming up:

PA Day Compassion Camp- Spaces still available for Friday June 6.  This is a day off for the OCDSB and the CEPEO.  We are looking forward to another great day of lovingkindness.    

Church Picnic!  June 8 we celebrate our Church School teachers in worship and with a meal afterwards.  There will be good food, and friendly competition with traditional picnic games in the courtyard.  

Summer Church School -Do you have a Sunday in the summer when you could share your time with the Church School?  Our faithful teachers take a break in the summer months and we invite families to take a turn while they're away.  Lesson plans are provided and it is a lot of fun.  Please let me know if you're interested.

May God bless you as you do hard things and guide your children through them too.

Rev. Heather Paton
