EVENTS & ACTIVITIES
Representatives of churches in Moosomin, Sask., including St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, gathered on Good Friday to do a Walk of the Cross. The cross was carried from St. Andrew’s and prayers were said at each stop. The stops along the walk included the cenotaph, courthouse, medical clinic and food bank.

         This past year certainly posed a challenge. The congregation of Saint Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Frederic- ton, N.B., had to get creative in connecting with their shut-in seniors. Some members of the Ladies Group have been keeping busy knitting or crocheting “Prayer Shawls” for those who could use a cozy hug.

   This year, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Nanaimo, B.C., hosted a drive-by Stations of the Cross in the church parking lot and in friends’ front yards. Congregation members told the Easter story, waving to and greeting friends through closed car windows.
Easter hampers were delivered by volunteers from the Outreach & Missions Team of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Lindsay, Ont., to approximately 50 homes in the community, including Women’s Resources, a local charity that serves vulnerable women. Folks received enough food for a special Easter breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a little chocolate treat, all of which was purchased locally to support our lo- cal merchants. It was such a practical way to put St. Andrew’s core values of social responsibility and loving relationships into action.
