Please help us spread the word.
• Have you heard about Fundscrip?  This is a great way to help St. Andrew’s raise funds.  You purchase gift cards for your own use and St. Andrew’s receives a percentage of each sale.  February’s “sales” (meaning St. Andrew’s gets an even higher percentage) are Bikini Village, La Vie En Rose, Esso and Starbucks.  If you haven’t tried Fundscrip out and want to know how, please ask.  It’s quite easy!
• there are only 4 spots left in the Debbie Ellis Watercolour painting workshop on Saturday, March 9th.  A registration fee of $20.00 must accompany sign up to reserve your spot. There is a maximum of 15 participants.  If there is more interest another workshop can be added.

The sermon title for this week:

Parenting Study Group

936 weeks. That’s the approximate time you have from the moment your child is born until he or she graduates from high school. It goes by fast, and kids change and grow quickly. We know you want to make the most of each phase of your child’s life! To find out how, join us for Parenting Through the Phases, a small group experience for parents. This 6 week course will be spread out, from January to June, on the second Tuesday of the month, starting at 7:30 pm for approximately 1 hour per session.  Child care is available each night and babies are welcome.

Your child is changing every week! Just as you begin to figure them out, they shift or move on to a new rhythm, a new habit, and a new opinion. It can make the responsibility to shape a child’s faith and character feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to. Check out the new Parenting Through the Phases Small Group Study launching on Tuesday, January 8th, 7:30 pm.

You’re invited to a new group for parents of children from birth through 12^thgrade! The Parenting Through the Phases Small Group study is a small group series that will help you discover what’s changing about your child over the next 52 weeks. We’ll also talk about the 6 things your child needs most, and 4 conversations you’ll want to have with your child starting today! Don’t miss out! Here’s how to sign up: there is no cost to this study, but please let Joni know you are planning to attend, so that enough materials are readily available. (jsmith@standrewshespeler.ca). The Christian Education Committee is purchasing a set of the accompanying books, so you will be able to borrow them.

Start:  

Tuesday, January 8th, 7:30 pm at St. Andrew's!  Any questions?  

Please talk with Joni.

Happy New Year!
