We had an awesome time at our Celebration Barbecue at St. Andrew’s Centre on Friday, September 20. It’s six years since St. Andrew’s transformed brick and mortar into concrete outreach ministry in Calgary and area.
In fact, we were so busy celebrating with ministry partners and friends, we missed taking photos of fun and good food.
But we do have a few photos of some people who spoke in between rounds of a Trivia game. Please see below the description of who spoke below and also a video of YYC Campus Ministry Chaplain Tim Nethercott speaking on how St. Andrew’s has allowed that ministry to expand and flourish.
Thank you to all involved in last Friday’s celebration: to those who made the delicious food, to all who came and all who wished they could have come but weren’t able to make it.
Here’s to many more years of “Seeking…Sharing…Serving…Caring” in Calgary and beyond!
