You will have seen that the sign at the church now says "St. Andrew's United Church". In 2012, the Board approved a change to the Christian Church name, and now the Board has approved a change back to our United Church name, which had been in use since the then Presbyterian congregation voted to join the newly formed United Church in 1925. Sunday Service is at 10:30 a.m.
As war continues in Ukraine we are very concerned for the well being of refugees from the conflict.
We've been following the efforts of Youth with a Mission (YWAM) personnel, including Dasha, who are feeding refugees and ferrying them to the border safely. To find our more about their efforts and Support YWAM in the Ukraine visit YWAM Pray-for-Ukraine. For Tax deductible Canadian Donations to YWAM Slavice ministries go to Charitable Impact. (I have been using this site to support a YWAM worker for several years.)
The United Church of Canada also has launched an appeal to support its mission partners in Ukraine for more information and to make donations go to UCC Ukraine Crisis.
You can always designate part of your offering to any of the mission organizations we support, and marking your envelope $xx Ukraine YWAM or $xx Ukraine UCC will work, however if you use the links above, your money will get to work faster, as we must forward our donations by mailing cheques on a monthly basis.
“O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble. They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth. They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
"What a Friend we have in Jesus!"
Joseph Scrivens, of Port Hope, Upper Canada (Ontario) has inspired generations with this truth. Jesus said, (John 15:13–16) "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." His disciples are his friends. He calls Moses his friend (Ex 33:11), he is a friend to Abraham (Is 41:8).
We pray in the name of our friend, Jesus. and when faced with trouble and danger we can often hear people praying in 'the powerful name of Jesus.' When was the last time you prayed in 'the friendly name of Jesus?'
God, you are patient, you are kind. you do not envy, do not boast, you are not proud. You are not rude or self-seeking, you are not easily angered and keep no record of wrongs.
You do not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. You always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere.
You never fail.
le premier et le troisième mardi de chaque mois, à 19 heures, l’Église Évangélique de Rockland organise une étude biblique ici à Pangborn Hall. Tous sont les bienvenus!
