THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR WINTER CLOTHING PROGRAM for our Sunday Supper clients.
At this time all that is needed include: socks, gloves and hats.
Outreach and Missions Ministry
The January edition of the Presbyterian Record has arrived! (Click the link for an online version of the magazine.) If requested, the Record has been placed in your mailbox. Thank you to everyone who has helped with recycling the Records that they may have at home.
 Sunday Donations - January focus: Peanut Butter (but anything is welcome) Help St. Andrew's to be part of the solution. Shopping and Gift Cards can be purchased at the church office during regular office hours and on Sunday mornings in the Main Hall during coffee social. We have a wide variety of gift cards available.
We thank all of our members who use the cards and contribute in this manner. St. Andrew's financial goal is to retire our mortgage as soon as possible. Remember, when you exchange your cheque or cash for the cards, St. Andrew's earns nearly 6% on all of your purchases! January 22 - January 27: St. Andrew's Mortgage Fund received $245 from your purchases of $4,075!! Using gift cards could not be easier. We buy them in bulk and get a 6% discount on most of the cards. You buy them, use them just like cash and automatically St. Andrew's earns 6% on every purchase. This keeps supporting our local businesses too. If it doesn't seem like much, look at the total that has been raised through this program. It does add up and will add up faster if you take part! Sales for 2011 were $283,032 resulting in a profit of $16,698 for our mortgage fund. This is the equivalent of two (2) mortgage payments of $7,724 monthly.
