Newsletter: I Once Was Blind...

But Now I See!

This week, Penny & I started service at a new retirement home, Harrison Pointe on the way up to the hospital. What a turn out! There must have been 35 residents who attended the service, and most received the oil of anointing and communion. With such a large number, it would be very helpful to have a couple more volunteers from the church to help us lead music and distribute the sacraments.

The next few dates for our retirement home visits are as follows:

Harrison Landing

Wed, Aprill 19th at 2pm

Wed, May 10th at 2pm

Wed, June 14th at 2pm

Wed, July 12th at 2pm

Harrison Pointe (please note alternating Tuesday & Thursday dates)

Tues, April 4th at 2pm

Thurs, May 25th at 2pm

Thurs, June 22nd at 2pm

Tues, July 4th at 2pm

Please speak to me or to Penny if you would like to be a part of this rewarding ministry.


Spirituality, Evolution & Ecology Retreat

Saturday, March 25 - 1:30 - 4:30 pm 

Facilitated by Cameron Gutjahr & David Taylor

A contemplative opportunity to explore the scientific theories of evolution and ecology as a spiritual practice in a Christian framework. Together, over the course of the afternoon, we will pray with phylogenetic trees, meditate with microscopic organisms, and reflect on the relationships that connect us to all living things and, ultimately, to God our Creator.

Closing half hour - Sung Evening Prayer facilitated by Andrew Halladay & David Taylor

Cameron is a priest at St. John the Divine Anglican Church in beautiful Squamish, BC. and David is priest at St. Dunstan's in Aldergrove and the Director of the Centre for Spiritual Renewal at St. Dunstan's.

Repairs @

St. Andrew’s

A free repair service,

by donation to St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, Langley

  • Bring your broken household items to the church office, and we will attempt a repair.

  • Our repairs have no guarantee or warrantee: We really want to slow the amount of stuff that gets chucked into our garbage. The “overflow” waste from MetroVan is shipped to Cache Creek or south to Washington at a cost of $ 150 million a year.

  • Because of their extremely small parts, we don’t usually attempt watches or cell phones

  • Because of potential loss of data, we are cautious about fixing laptop and desktop computers.

  • We do not charge for our labour. If it gets fixed, make a donation to St. Andrews.

  • We will charge for parts, if parts are needed, but we will consult you before we purchase them.

  • New replacement parts are often unavailable and we may get creative or find used parts.

  • We will inform you when a repair is beyond our skill level and try to suggest an expert to help.

These are suggested candidates for repair:

Electrical: vacuums, mixers, fans, juicers, popcorn makers, grills, coffee makers, kettles, lamps, Christmas lights, heaters, air filters, drills, saws and other tools

Electronic: radios, stereos, cd players, computers, timers, bluetooth speakers, remotes

Mechanical: items where some part is broken and needs glue, solder, or other fix to make it useable.
