Meat Pie Details

Posted by on Monday, October 2nd, 2017 in Clerk of Session


The official order window is from October 1st to November 6th due to changes at our supplier. Normally we would have a longer run but in this era of changes in retail, they would like to help us but find they cannot because of their supplier changes. Please accept my apologies due to the changes but Kerri and the staff are part of a supply chain (as we are too). You may notice that the Tappa's are gone too - not a big seller. Most of the rest remains the same.

Please have your meat pie orders to me, the Church office or email me and we can work out the details.

NEW! orders will be accepted from October 1 - November 6 

 I cannot guarantee your order will be processed after the date shown.  What I can do is create an order cycle in December if there is enough demand.

Just a heads up - this will be sent to Session in October for consideration

The M&O Committee has finalized the details for St Andrews’ international mission trip for 2018. We are recommending a co-ordinated mission trip through the Presbyterian Church of Canada. The bulk of the details inclusive of: travel, food and lodging, visa’s, insurance and many other details in Malawi, will be handled by the PCC. This co-ordination allows St. Andrews to join an existing ministry that offers greater security for travelers and out-source the logistical details to the professionals. In compliance with St. Andrews Mission trip policy we are recommending that Session review and approve this offering.

Hespeler Village Little Library

Posted by on Tuesday, April 11th, 2017 in Clerk of Session


Christian Education is sponsoring an addition to the St. Andrews grounds with the installation of the Hespeler Village Free Library.  If you are unfamiliar with free libraries, they are micro-libraries usually hand-made that offer a very limited selection of books to borrow. In our case CE is facilitating Christian and family oriented books for lending. Session has been assured that the integrity of offerings will be supervised at all times.  

In early May you can find it located near the Queen St. parking lot just adjacent to the doors into the foyer.

Meat Pies direct to you

Posted by on Monday, March 27th, 2017 in Clerk of Session

Hello St Andrews


                                                
It is my great pleasure to announce that meat pies are back! Here are the deets.  The order window is open now until April 28th. There is a sample order sheet below and there will be many opportunities to pick one up at the church too. Kindly spread the word so everyone gets a chance to order these "good as homemade pies." 

I have some news too - I'm working with a company in Guelph called Portions that have a pretty wide variety of gluten-free, peanut-free, dairy free, egg free and soy-free entrees prepackaged and frozen. They are deeply committed to providing exceptional quality for those that have dietary restrictions. If you are someone or know someone that would like to try some of their meals they are easily contacted. The really good news in the very near future I may be able to offer these meals directly to you. They are looking at providing a special price offer for St Andrews.  All the details are not worked out at this time. When I have the details we will have another tasting opportunity to sample their products.

Just a reminder 100% of the proceeds goes to St Andrew's in our second year of fundraising to beat the deficit.  Buon Gusto!
