THREE CHEERS FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS!

Details
Hits: 3470

It is not often in a church that we take the time to let our volunteers know how much they are appreciated. This is National Volunteer Week in Canada so it is a perfect time to say three cheers for volunteers that keep our churches going. Those that are volunteering their time now, and all those that put in so many hours in the past, making sure that their home church was all that God would want it to be.

  • Three cheers for the workers in the kitchen, slicing sandwiches, washing dishes, brewing coffee and tea, serving love on a platter of cookies and sweet loaf. 
  • Three cheers for those that make those delicious church suppers happen. Fun and fellowship as you fill hungry 
  • stomachs.
  • Three cheers to you gently caring, quietly sitting by the bedside of a friend who no longer remembers your name; you care; you come with your gift of comfort and compassion. Those that send cards or bring cookies to those that are feeling down.
  • Three cheers for the choir that makes the worship service so memorable, by hitting all the right notes.
  • The ushers and greeters and bulletin distributors with their shake of a hand and warm smile of welcome for everyone.
  • Three cheers for the unsung heroes of hammer and nail, bucket and mop.
  • Three cheers for our Sunday School teachers and Board members. All those that make sure the worship service runs smoothly from the warm smile of greeting when you enter the door to the friendly good­bye when you leave.
  • Three cheers for our new Events Committee, and everyone who makes special events happen, decorate the hall and the church so beautifully, raise extra funds so we can continue to support Missions, and Golden Lake, and our local high school scholarship program.
  • A special thank you to all those that quietly do so much to make such a difference in the life of your church. 
  • Three cheers for Brian and Neil, and all that they do and say, things that the congregation knows and sees, and things that only one other is deeply grateful for, one other here on earth. The Lord God is listening and around us always. May His Hands hold Brian and Neil gently and forever. 

Three cheers for you, all of you, children of God, celebrating life, living love, putting your faith into action.

Saint Andrew's supports Golden Lake Camp. This Spring a team went up and built a new deck on the staff house, and repaired a number of other items. We've been collecting for the wish list, and we participate in Family Camp each year. We also want to encourage everyone to support the camp through donations. There is an urgent need NOW! in the off-season. Your contribution can help ensure that kids are able to discover God's love through the message and ministry of committed Christian young people every summer. Send a Kid to Camp!

Ukraine Aid

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.
