This Saturday, join us for a fair trade Christmas craft fair! Goods on offer come from Palestinian artists and artisans living on the West Bank. All proceeds, after shipping and duties, go directly back to the artists.
A gift that benefits the community, a gift with thought and intention, has great meaning to it—so here’s to the opportunity to buy some amazing art with heart in it.
Check out our Nov/Dec newsletter for a piece about the upcoming fair trade craft fair at St. A's (Dec 6), a reflection on finding a new minister, the upcoming events at St. A's this Christmas season, and more!

"Broadview has the rare capacity to serve the spiritual, social and intergenerational needs not only of churchgoers but also of those who have no church connection. People are looking for life-giving love, for stories of reconciliation, courage and hope. They can find them in Broadview.” (Mardi Tindal, 40th Moderator of the UCC).
Contact Susan in the office before Dec 8 to be added to the list!
This season at St. Andrew's: worship and community events during Advent and Christmas. Check them out!
Quick Reminder:
We are collecting men’s new underwear (S & M) for emergency weather shelter guests until Christmas—and $10 gift cards from Tim Hortons would be appreciated, too. (The Tim’s on Lonsdale allows unhoused folks to sit with hot coffee and breakfast from opening time at 5 am until well after 7.)
There's a box for underwear donations in the Sanctuary, or you can drop them off at the office.
Thank you for your generosity!
Oh hello, Vespers....
