THIS SUNDAY

This Sunday

We will join with our downtown Halifax sister churches again, this week at Saint Matthew's on Barrington Street. We will worship at Saint Matthew's for the next three Sundays as three different lay leaders of the church share the weekly sermon. The sanctuary is accessible. We look forward to continuing to worship with you this summer!

At Saint Andrew's the work of the church continues all summer. We have spaces to reorganize, rental contracts to send to the many groups who call Saint Andrew's home, and programs to prepare for our return in September. Sunday Suppers continues every week and can always use your help.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Sunday Suppers needs your help!

There has been a substantial increase in need in our city. Sunday Suppers served +17.5% more guests in the first half of 2024. Volunteers are needed to serve and to cook.

Please contact us in the church office or come on Sunday afternoon and lend a hand. Groups can also come but we ask that you give advance notice to the Sunday Supper team.

There will be a viewing of the film, “Where Olive Trees Weep,” at Saint Andrew’s this Sunday, July 28th at 7pm.

“Where Olive Trees Weep” offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice.

We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer trauma-healing work.

You can can register to come, or just drop in.
