New & Important Reminders
The St. Andrew’s Book Club is meeting next on February 27 in the church lounge at 1:30 pm. We are reading Mistress of Nothing by Kate Pullinger. This story focuses on a maid who accompanies her mistress to Egypt in the late 1800’s. Lady Duff Gordon is a real person and the novel is based on events in her diary.  New members are always welcome. Contact Ruth  for more information at mckenzieqrst@shaw.ca or 204-489-1537.
 

Outreach

This upcoming Sunday, January 27 is "Spare Change Sunday." We are collecting for 1JustCity-Oak Table, so they can purchase new  underwear for people who are in need.  If you have some spare change, drop it in the plate at the back of the sanctuary.

Our next outreach project is for February and March. We will be collecting new and/or slightly used backpacks. Bring them into St. Andrew's and we will ensure 1JustCIty-Oak Table receives them.
