CLAY is a program of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) and the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC). They have a history that goes back as far as 1966. In 2010, the gathering became a joint gathering of the ELCIC and ACC. Calgary is hosting CLAY at SAIT from August 20-23.
We are in need of volunteers of all types. Volunteers are a critical part of CLAY, providing first aid support, pastoral care, and assistance with all aspects of event logistics. If you are committed to creating the best CLAY experience for the participants, we want to hear from you!  Go to http://claygathering.ca/volunteer/ for more information.

Parking!!
Foothills Village Condo Board has voted to allow us to park in their VISITOR parking on Sunday mornings until 1pm.  They have also reopened the fence from their property to our alley! A big thanks to Patrick Carmichael, President of the Board for being such a good friend to St. Andrew’s! If you do receive a ticket, please let Christine know, so we can work out any kinks in the system.

Driver(s) Wanted! We have a few parishioners living at Chartwell Colonel Belcher who need a ride to come to church. It is only a 5 minute drive from church and you need space for a walker. Please let Christine know if you are willing to help fill this pastoral need.

Did you know?

*Our budget is 63% for Personnel (Priest, Choir Director & Office Administrator); 11% for the building (utilities, maintenance) and 26% everything else. Talk to a member of Parish Council for more details!
