Rolling blackouts and limited access to research data caused the Rev. Francisco Marrero-Gutiérrez, former Dean and Vice-Rector of Seminario Evangélico de Teología in Matanzas, Cuba to struggle as he worked to complete his PhD. With support from Presbyterians Sharing, the PCC brought Francisco to Canada for four months so he could concentrate on researching and writing his doctoral dissertation on the hermeneutics in revolution.
SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL MISSION

The Compass Food Bank

The Compass is a food bank and outreach centre located and serving Mississauga South. It was established by partnering Christian churches in the Clarkson-Lorne Park-Port Credit area. As a member church, St. Andrew’s donates financially, collects food for donation, and participates in other ways to support the work of the Compass.
​
The Compass provides a safe and welcoming place for people to come to for help. The Compass offers immediate assistance with food, then works with clients offering practical and spiritual support to the challenges that often come along with a low income.
​
The Compass has now moved to its new location at 427 Lakeshore Road E., Mississauga.

Evangel Hall Mission

Evangel Hall Mission is a community service agency that was founded in 1913 by the Presbyterian Church in Canada. For over a century, it has supported individuals experiencing poverty, homelessness, and social isolation in Toronto. Evangel Hall is a safe haven where people living with mental and physical health challenges, fighting addictions, and fleeing abuse can take a rest from their burdens and access supports. The Mission’s services address the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional aspects of well-being and are available to anyone in need of support.
St. Andrew’s supports the work of the Mission with monthly donations of sandwiches, baked goods, fruit, personal and feminine hygiene products, socks and new or gently used clothing.

Evangel Hall Sandwich Delivery
Next Drop-off Date:
Thursday, February 13 at St. Andrew's Stavebank door
8:30am - 9:30am.
In addition to sandwiches, we deliver donations of fresh fruit, baked goods, toiletries, and new or gently used clothing.

On the second Thursday of every month, we deliver loaves of sandwiches to Evangel Hall Mission in Toronto. Participation is easy! All you have to do is:
1. Get a loaf of bread or two from the grocery store, make it into sandwiches, and wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or put it into an individual sandwich baggie.
(Don’t cut the sandwiches,
and no peanut butter, please!)
2. Put the wrapped sandwiches
into the bag the bread came in.
3. Reattach the bag clip, and label
the bag with the type of sandwiches
you’ve put inside.
4. Drop your loaves of sandwiches off
at our Stavebank door between 8:30am - 9:30am on the Thursday of our delivery.
That’s it! Your sandwiches will provide much needed nourishment to some of Toronto’s most vulnerable people.



A Prayer for Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
God of truth, mercy and peace,
God of life and of reconciliation,
we mourn the suffering and murder of your people
and we pray a just peace
and reconciliation for the people of Palestine and Israel
who have endured the burden of violence and conflict for so long.
Console those who grieve,
heal the injured,
comfort those who are alone and afraid,
protect those who held hostage, and
restrain those who would cause more violence
or act cynically for political gain and power.
Let wisdom settle on your churches
and on the governments and leaders of this world
so that justice is sought,
reconciliation found,
peace established and
security provided for all.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
