Hespeler Reunion Worship

Posted by on Sunday, July 10th, 2016 in News

We had a great community worship service this morning!  We welcomed Rev. Rick & Mary Warne back this morning and Rick preached our message.  The music was amazing; combined choirs from community churches, soloists and groups. And the food was really great afterwards, too! 
Many thanks to EVERYONE who helped out in any way.

It was a great time to renew old acquaintances and make new friends!

This week at St. Andrew’s (June 26)

Posted by on Thursday, June 23rd, 2016 in News


Week after week, we always have important and meaningful things going on at St. Andrews. Even though Summer has now officially begun that is still true for June 26. This Sunday:


  • We will welcome three more members into our congregation. Three weeks ago we had seven new members, but there were three who were unable to be present because of important family reasons. We rejoice to welcome them this week!
  • Martin Bohl will be filling in at the organ this week and next. Martin is a very talented organist and we will certainly be blessed by his musical leadership
  • We will honour the work of Amy and Laura with our youth and thank them for their contribution to the life of Christ's church.
  • The minister will begin a new summer series of sermons focusing on ancient commandments and asking what it would look like if we applied them to life today. The first commandment: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain."

June 19 at St. Andrew’s Hespeler.

Posted by on Thursday, June 16th, 2016 in News

As usual, there are lots of good reasons to be at St. Andrew's Hespeler on a Sunday morning. June 19 will be no exception. Here are some highlights:

  • We will, of course, be celebrating Father's Day, praying for and seeking God's blessings on the fathers among us and who have shaped our lives.
  • In response to the terrible hate crime perpetrated in Orlando last Sunday, we will pray and resolve to work for a better world and an end to the power of hatred for marginalized groups including LGBT people.
  • Special musical guest: Robert Dwyer.
  • Please note that, contrary to what was announced last Sunday, we will not be receiving new members this week. An important family matter for two of our candidates has meant that this will have to be postponed until June 26.
  • Our sermon, "What Jesus an "atheist" because he taught that God is Abba," will look at the surprising things that Jesus taught about God when he called God "Abba. Turns out that abba doesn't mean what you may think!
