Sunday Service

This Sunday we welcome Rowan White, a Mi'kmaw singer from K'tamqkuk (NL), now living in K'jipuktuk (Halifax).


Rowan was a choir section lead for Fort Massey United Church, and they will be again for our Halifax United Church.


This Sunday, Rowan and Ibukun offer their interpretation of the hymn Long Before the Night. Susan offers a reflection on nights, days, and time in general, with the insights of theologic and indigenous teachings.


Teach us God to number our days,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom (psalm 90:12)


This is National Indigenous Peoples Day. See you Sunday.

Let's FILL THE CHURCH on Sunday, June 28!


Sunday, June 28 marks the last service for Saint Andrew's United Church, as we stand on the threshold of Halifax United Church.


This congregation was born 100 years ago, and this is a moment to celebrate our past, present and future!


We'll also take a moment to celebrate Rev. Susan, with thanks for her ministry as it draws to a close.


The UCW is organizing a reception at the back of the sanctuary following the service. A few donations of finger foods would be welcome. Please tell Ruth Cordes what you plan to bring by emailing ruth.cordes@dal.ca or calling 902-422-4666.



Mark your calendars. Invite your friends. It's a Celebration Sunday!


 

Spotlight on Community: UCW Annual Lunch and Penny Auction

This week the Saint Andrew’s UCW had their final meeting, which included a luncheon and penny auction.


A great time was had by all as they closed this chapter.


With the amalgamation, this group will now disband and look forward to the women of Halifax United forming a new UCW in September.

Saint Andrew's Supports Social Justice: Camp Kidston

Camping season is here, and Camp Kidston provides a safe and happy summer camping experience to kids aged 5 to 16 where they can explore their unique talents and place in the universe through opportunities to unplug and connect with friends, outdoor adventures, and faith exploration.


At Camp Kidston, they believe no child should miss out just because of financial concerns. Thanks to the generosity of their community members, volunteers, and donors, Kidston’s Sponsorship Fund offers a helping hand to many campers and families who otherwise might not be able to go to camp. They ask that families contribute what they can toward their camper’s fees, and they work with their donors to cover the rest.​


Learn more about donating to the fund, as well as applying for sponsorship, here.
