New & Events

St. Andrew’s has a new Clerk of Session! 
John Mason has stepped into this important position, taking over from Larry Hebert, whose time as Clerk saw the search for a new minister, collapse of ceiling panels in the sanctuary and initiation of the Restoration campaign. Larry continues as co-chair of the Restoration Fundraising Committee and member of the Worship Committee. Many thanks for all the hard work and dedication through this difficult period.

John Mason, in addition to his duties as Clerk, chairs the Mission and Outreach Committee and ensures the presence of ushers to welcome all arriving for Sunday worship services. For an idea about the many talents he brings to the job, visit the Meet the Staff page. Welcome John!

St. Andrew’s has new Administrative Assistant
Kaitlin Wolframe, a native of Thunder Bay and graduate of Confederation College has joined St. Andrew’s as the new administrative assistant, and will be looking after office duties Monday to Friday mornings, taking over from Faye Larsen. Faye will now be free to visit grandchildren and enjoy retired life. Thank you Faye!

Throughout the year the congregation of St. Andrew’s strives to express our faith through sharing with those in need, locally, nationally and elsewhere in the world. During the Christmas season we make a special effort to bring comfort and joy to those in the area through gifts and cash donations. To read some of the heart-warming responses to our endeavors, click here.

St. Andrew’s has been overwhelmed by support for restoration of the beautiful, historic building. We are deeply grateful. One of the latest donations comes from the Shirley M. & Meredith O. Nelson Fund established by Deborah Kraft in honour of her mother and father.

Please join us in welcoming Jim McLean as our new caretaker. Jim has taken up his duties and will be here:

• Sundays from 8:30 to 12:30
• Mondays to Thursdays, 8:00 to 12 noon.

During the month of December, Lori Gosselin will cover the office while Faye is away, until the new year. Lori will be in the office:

• Mondays to Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

Fridays, Rev. Joyce plans to be in the building, along with the Caring & Contact person.

Thanks to all who contributed, shopped and delivered! 
Once again, the St. Andrew’s community has displayed great generosity  and gathered an abundance of gifts for the women and children of Thunder Bay’s Women’s Shelters, Elizabeth Fry Society, and a family with the Children’s Aid Society. The donations were delivered on December 15, ensuring a happier Christmas for both givers and recipients.
