St. Andrew's United Church Council has made the difficult decision to suspend
in-person worship services for the time being (up to and including January 3rd at least).
Worship services will be available on our website and posted to
our new Facebook Page: St Andrew's United, Truro - 2020 and beyond. 
It also means that church groups, larger than 5 people, cannot gather at St Andrew's. 
​The outside groups who use our space will be contacted individually and a plan made. 
While this is a disappointing to so many of us, Council felt that
our first concern is for everyone's safety and this seemed like the best decision. 
It is best that St Andrews err on the side of caution, given our close proximity to the Central Zone
​and the amount of continuous interaction that exists between Truro and HRM.

This week, our online worship service will be pre-taped and available Sunday morning.
Links to recent online worship services, can be found at the bottom of this page.

St. Andrew's United Church ( Truro, Nova Scotia )
Virtual Sunday Service for November 29, 2020

Action that can be taken to help learn about and stop the Military Detention of Palesteinian children:
1) Check out website Canadian movement that the United Church is taking part in: https://nwttac.dci-palestine.org/
2) Join other churches and justice-seeking organizations actively lobbying the Canadian government “to ensure the human rights of Palestinian children are protected by instructing a Special Envoy to promote, monitor and report on the human rights situation of Palestinian children living in the occupied Palestinian Territory and Gaza.” Use the attached template to send a letter or email to the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
3) Look at the "Follow up Actions for Children's Sunday" provided by Region 15.

Meet Shannon MacLean

Hello St Andrews Family!

It is 8 days since I officially began as your minster here at St Andrews.
I have been working hard to get all set up. Already we have tapped two worship services.
The first was to say goodbye to Keith who had loved you and cared for you these past 3 1/2 years.
And the second is my preaching premiere (for you)! It  go up on Sunday at 11 AM !
I made you this little (very unprofessional) introduction video since we cannot all get together !
I know it is a little silly, but these times require creativity !

I am very motivated to come and visit as many folks as possible !
I bought a nice camping chair just for this occasion so let me know when works for you ! 
Take care everyone and God bless.

Shannon
