Auctions!
Unfortunately, Jeanne and Pat are not available to help out this

Humour Corner
A pastor was in the habit of reading every word of his sermons - which were rather
long and tedious.
One of the congregation thought to cure him of this, and, before the service, slipped into the
pulpit and removed one page at random.
The preacher began. After a while he reached the point where the page was gone.
"And Adam said unto Eve..." He paused.
"And Adam, err, said unto Eve...There seems to be a leaf missing!”

Last Sunday - July 16th, 2017
We welcomed Sue Cowan back to St. Andrew’s as she led us in worship last
Sunday. Sue was attending St. Andrew’s (and was a long time member) until she
became a Pastor and left St. Andrew’s to lead worship in Brampton. It was a
wonderful service! We are blessed with having Sue lead us for the next 2 Sundays
as well.
