SUNDAY SERVICE

We're very fortunate this Palm/Passion Sunday to welcome guest preacher Dr. David Deane. Dr. Deane is a Theology Professor, writer, podcaster, and widely regarded speaker.

Reflecting on Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem, Dr. Deane invites us to really face up to Christ and ask ourselves "Who is he?" and "Do we want to follow him?"

This service will turn us toward Holy Week.

Lenten Carols - Songs for the Journey to Easter

23 March - 7:00 PM

5666 Sebastian St.

An evening of unique folk music for the season of Lent presented by Halifax musician Mark Amadeus Flowerdew, featuring Mark's stories and original gospel songs (and some classics) designed to challenge your assumptions and prompt reflection ahead of Good Friday. In this 8th annual event, Mark is joined by Emma Carline (violin) and Emma Yeo Flowerdew (singing).

Lent is about radical self-examination — a time to look at the things we spend our time and money on and consider whether they matter in the long run. For Christians, it's time to ask what we'd need to leave behind to follow the path of humility Jesus leads us on.

Passion: Music of a Thousand Years

24 March - 4:00 PM

1330 Cathedral Lane

‘PASSION: Music of A Thousand Years’ is a concert presentation with a millennium's span of rich and beautiful choral music. Directed by Paul Halley, The Choir of All

Saints Cathedral will showcase choral works in a fluid choreography that surrounds the audience with powerful and ethereal music, sung from various locations within the magnificent landmark building.

Among the many a cappella musical gems in this year's presentation will be Samuel Barber’s Agnus Dei, (a marvelous transcription that Barber himself made from his famous Adagio for Strings), Arvo Pärt’s The Deer’s Cry and the second set of Tallis’ Lamentations of Jeremiah.

LAST WEEK AT SAINT ANDREW'S - OUR NEW BIKE RACK!

Our bike rack arrived!! And it's been installed outside the front doors by our Robie Street entrance.

The green music note was provided and installed by Music Declares Emergency Canada. We were one of the spots chosen for a note because of our partnership with them.

We're all called to be mindful of how we're using energy and impacting the planet. Have you considered biking for your next visit to the church?

There's always something happening at St. Andrew's!
