beverages with anyone who joins us. You are invited – 9:30 – 10 a.m. – and support this new opportunity to be St. Andrew’s beyond the sanctuary!Prayers …

Grandfather, look at our brokenness.We know that in all creation only the human family has strayed away from the sacred way.We know that we are the ones who are divided,and we are the oneswho much come back together to walk in the sacred way.Grandfather, sacred one,teach us love, compassion and honourthat we may heal the earthand heal each other.

O you great chief, light a candle in my heart, that I may see what is

within, and sweep clean your dwelling place.

When the day returns, call us with morning faces, and with morning hearts, eager to labour, happy if happiness be our portion, and if the day is marked for sorrow, strong to endure.
