Your Weekly Financial Offering

If you wish to continue to donate to St. Andrew’s during this time, you can do so utilizing our PAD (Pre-Authorized Debit) option. Once a month, on or after the 12th, we submit to RBC our PAD file to automatically debit from your bank account. If the 12th falls on a weekend or statutory holiday, we process the file the next bank business day. To begin this process, call Carl Markwart at 604-575-3068 to provide your name and banking information. Three bank details are needed (usually taken from the bottom of a void cheque) – your bank’s transit number, bank number and your personal bank account number.

Alternatively, you can drop off your weekly envelopes through the church’s mail slot or mail your donation to St. Andrew’s 20955 Old Yale Rd, Langley City BC V3A 7P8.

There is also the option of e-transfer. You can just send it to the church’s email, standrewslangley@shaw.ca, and it will be sent to our Treasurer.

If you have a story to share, or want to let us know how you are faring in isolation, please email Joanie or phone Andrew.

”Hello Everyone. We hope you are all keeping well and managing the “social isolation”. We are both fine and finding ways to keep busy. We always have a long list of things to do but somehow the motivation to do them isn’t quite as strong! “There is always tomorrow”. We are very lucky to have family nearby, who are happy to pick up groceries and medications for us, so we don’t have to go do any shopping. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel vacation plans for this fall. We were planning on going to Africa in September but now that has been delayed. Instead we discovered Wild Earth Live on You Tube and have been watching safaris in South Africa, from the comfort of our living room. We, of course, miss seeing the grandkids, although Grady and Oliver came over on the weekend with their parents and played in our backyard, while we watched from a safe distance on our deck. We joked that it was like being at the zoo and watching the “animals” play, while we looked through the glass. Thank goodness for the internet and the ability to do video calls! Stuart even played Chinese Checkers with Oliver on a video call yesterday. We hope you all keep well and look forward to seeing you on Zoom Sunday morning.”
