B.C. Floods Emergency Response

Saturday Night Supper – December 4
On Saturday December 4 St. Andrew’s and Kortright P. C. are scheduled to donate the supper at the Royal City Mission.  As we have done throughout the pandemic, the Mission and Outreach Coordinating Committee will purchase the salads, dessert bars, and juice boxes that St. Andrew’s is responsible for providing this time.  Monetary donations to St. Andrew’s P. C., designated for the SNS, would be very much appreciated!  
Once again, volunteers will not be needed because only a few people are required to fill up the take-out containers and distribute the meals.  We hope that by March 5, the date of our next Saturday Night Supper, we can have the supper inside, and work alongside volunteers from Kortright to serve the food.

Prayers of the People

The Apostles Creed (#538)

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;

he descended to the dead.

On the third day he rose again;

he ascended into heaven,

he is seated at the right hand of the Father,

and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. AMEN.
