Today St. Andrews’ welcomed retired minister and active elder Rev. Shirley Cochrane back to the pulpit. We all appreciate Shirley’s willingness to step into the breech and lead us in worship. It was also a treat to have Andrews’ sister Sophia at the piano today; thank you Sophia and may God bless you as you head to Montreal, for further studies, this fall.

Where has the summer gone? It is hard to believe that this Sunday (Aug. 21) will be Roberto’s last Sunday with us; we have very much appreciated his ministry as a summer student. We feel so blessed by Roberto’s ministry, leadership and encouragement. We will also be saying farewell to our music director, Andrew Stoney, this Sunday. We all extend a big thank you to Andrew for all the work and effort that you have brought to the table, you will be missed by all of us but even more so by the Children’s Choir. We all pray that God will bless both Roberto and Andrew as they go for further studies; Roberto to VST for his last year and Andrew to Trinity Western to further his studies. So please come and help us thank and send off these two fine young men this Sunday.

St. Andrew’s was saddened and will miss our long-time friend and sister in Christ, Joey Whitmore, who was called home into God’s Glory last Wednesday. Joey’s service will be held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, July 12th at 2 pm.
