Welcome to St. Andrew’s Church
Join us every Sunday at 10:30am for Morning Worship

 

Downtown Toronto is a busy and bustling place. Every day, thousands of people stream past the doors of St. Andrew’s on their way to work, to the theatre, to their homes, to sports games, and to the many tourist sites located in the church’s neighbourhood.

Behind the large doors which open onto King St. is a quiet and peaceful place of prayer and of worship.   The doors to the sanctuary will be open Monday to Friday from  9 AM to 4 PM for people to find a moment to come in to pray, to contemplate, to collect their thoughts and to seek peace.

God calls on St. Andrew’s to be an inclusive community and to welcome all with open arms and hearts of love.

St. Andrew’s Church is a place of prayer for all people.

Out of the Cold

Our Out of the Cold Takeaway Supper continues each Monday evening from 5 to 7pm through April 8th and the need is ever greater.  The prep for this endeavour begins after Coffee Hour each Sunday in the Great Hall at 1pm and volunteers are always needed.   Our Tuesday Breakfast continues all year round from 7 to 8:30 am.  The Out of the Cold boutique is open weekly during breakfast and every second week d suppers.

As spring is around the corner, we are now in need of men’s and women’s heavy spring coats and running shoes. We are also in need of men’s pants (jeans and khakis), hoodies as well as men’s and women’s underwear (must be new).   If anyone can donate these items they would be greatly appreciated.

In addition to clothing, the boutique is currently managing a high demand for soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste.  Again, any donations of these items is greatly appreciated.

To learn more about our OOTC efforts and needs, or to volunteer, please go to our website https://standrewstoronto.org/volunteer/out-of-the-cold/

The elders of the congregation serve together on the Session. The Session is responsible for the oversight of all of the ministries of the congregation.
Each of these six ministry areas is coordinated by a convener and an associate convener, who work with committees, task forces, activity groups and individuals within the respective areas of concern.
