Announcements

Free Public Lecture
Professor Teresa Morgan (University of Oxford), ‘God’s Empire: The Roman Empire and the Formation of Primitive Churches’
How did the earliest Christians see themselves? As a new people? A new race? A family, cult, or school? Scholars have proposed all these and more.
This lecture will explore how Paul of Tarsus describes the coming of God’s kingdom and life in the kingdom, and argue that his model is in fact the Roman empire. This makes Paul a fascinating example of the influence of Rome on its subjects, and puts Christians in a unique relationship with Rome and the rest of the empire.
Date: Monday, April 10th, 2017    Time: 7:30 pm
Location: University of Calgary, Energy Environment and Experiential Learning (EEEL) Building, room 210
All are welcome to this lecture and reception hosted by the Department of Classics and Religion (University of Calgary) and the Friends of Mediterranean Studies (formerly the Calgary Society for Mediterranean Studies)

Grounds Improvement
The committee is gathering quotes and expects to decide on a contractor by the end of April. Our hope is for the work to be completed in May. Thank you for your support, including $27,225 already donated! We ask that you now fulfill your pledge, as you are able, and claim and paint your tiles for our Blank Canvas Fundraiser (see note above).

Parish Photo Directory
St. Andrew’s now has the ability to create a Photo Directory and our own Kara Hallett has kindly offered to be our photographer! Starting on Easter Sunday and for a few of the following Sundays, Kara will be available to take pictures of our parishioners. Our goal is to have the directory ready for June.

Financial News
St. Andrew’s family has rallied to raise most of the funds to update our parking entrance and our Building Committee is working to be ready for completing it later in the spring. Kudos to everyone for their great support. Our operating deficit to the end of February is -$7,513, which is close to budget and the increasing numbers of direct deposits is encouraging.
