Good afternoon everyone!

We are continuing our journey and I am finding there are moments of pure joy and moments of sheer exhaustion.  I have heard that mirrored by many of you in conversations I have been having.  My prayers are for all of us!  We are navigating this new landscape and we are risking a lot!  Thank you for journeying with me.  You are all amazing!

Following are some notes for the upcoming week:  

Palm Sunday Crosses

Missing your Palm Sunday Palm Cross?  Barb Kent has recorded a beautiful way to make a Palm Cross from Ribbons.  It has been posted to Facebook.  We are hoping people may consider making one and put it somewhere for people to see!

Holy Week

I have had a lot of questions about Holy Week Services.  Our schedule for next week is going to be a lot different than previous years. 

There will be 3 recorded Services on our Website for Holy Week:

        Maundy Thursday – Evening Reflection

        Good Friday – A reading of the Passion Gospel

        Easter Sunday – Morning Prayer

Finance

You can expect to get a financial update by email shortly.  This is a separate email and will not be posted on the Website or Facebook site.  If you have decided to not be a part of the Parish email distribution list but would want to receive financial updates, please contact the office.

Easter Sunday Table Grace

We thought it would be meaningful to have a time to say Easter Table Grace together.  We are going to plan a Zoom call for 4:00 pm on Easter Sunday for 30 minutes.  Display an item of resurrection or hope in your background!

List of Activities this week:  If you are interested in any of the Zoom calls, contact Archdeacon Katherine or the office and a Zoom link will be emailed to you!

Church of Saint Andrew Office – office@churchofsaintandrew.ca

Lots of prayers for everyone!
