Centre for Missional Leadership at St. Andrew's Hall PresentsIn most Western nations, including Canada, the church has become small. The number of active Christians has dropped under 15% in most countries. In many locations, it is even less than that. What does this mean for a missionary religion like Christianity? How is it possible to be ‘missional’ in a context where very few people are interested in ‘God’ issues?Join us in person at Kerrisdale Presbyterian Church on Friday, May 3rd 7 pm or join us online for this public lecture with Dr. Stefan Paas where he will explore the missional identity and spirituality for Christian minorities in post-Christian contexts. Register Here - you can also just show up in person!

G3 Group (Games, Giggles and Gab)
We break up the day a bit for Crofton Manor residents by playing various games with them. They seem to be enjoying our visits and there is lots of laughter.
Our next get-together will be on Thursday, May 9 from 2:00-3:30 P.M.
The Refugee Committee is keeping busy with raising funds for our next sponsorship. Good progress has been made with organizing the Spring Fair.
Time is moving quickly as are our volunteers but extra help will be appreciated and we will need your help to make this a success. The White Elephant donations have started to arrive.
Donations can include books, kitchen items (dishes, pots & pans, etc), and small appliances.
Serviceable clothing (men, women, children),
indoors and outdoors, sports and work wear, gardening items.
Accessories (purses, jewelry, belts, scarves) are also welcome as are Craft items. Please bring items to church on Sunday and put them in the storage space on the balcony. If you are unable to bring your items up to the balcony, Place the donations on the table on the driveway side of the Narthex (or under the table if necessary!). Some of our volunteers will bring them up to the balcony storage area.
For safety reasons, do not put anything in front of the doors!
Volunteers are also busy canvassing businesses for donations. Some cash and gift cards have been received to date.
Volunteers will be needed before the Fair for setup and pricing;
during the Fair to man the tables and food and drink area.
