How you can donate and

help St. Andrew Church

GIVE

The world has changed dramatically in the past few years. When we look at our community we see people, in growing numbers, struggling with issues of stress, grief, addiction, illness and aging.  How do we reach them How can we help them?

​

Each week trained members of St. Andrew visit patients in our local hospital, mentor young children, visit those who are shut-in and lonely, others who are hurting, overwhelmed, depressed and confused and the elderly in our local nursing and care facilities. Phone calls come in at all hours of the day and night, for people looking for someone to walk with them through the valley of the shadow of death and beyond.

 

We have recently begun a new and powerful ministry of healing prayer and we are getting requests for prayer support from our greater community and beyond through our website - people reaching out from who-knows-where in the hopes that a mature Christian will lift them in prayer before God. A Gift of Hope donation to the healing and pastoral support ministries of St. Andrew Anglican Church, helps us to reach, support and walk along side those in need. 

 

With your continued assistance we can carry on our tradition of compassionate ministry in this place called "Love".

A Gift of Hope

Leaving a legacy in your loved one's name.

I don't know about your life, but in many lives there was someone who made a powerful difference and it changed the trajectory of their life. It might have been a grandparent, a teacher, a neighbour, a friend, parent, or sibling. It was someone who believed in you. Someone you can look back on and say:

 

"If it hadn't been for that person, I wouldn't be who I am today". 

"I wouldn't be where I am today". 

"If they didn't help me when they did, I don't know where I would be". 

The Tree of Hope is designed to remember and honour that special someone.

The coloured leaves and doves represent different levels of giving and recognition.​​

To provide a safe, nurturing & secure environment, where youth can build strategies to improve their reading & writing skills and receive support with homework completion.

BrainiACTS is an affordable literacy and academic support program for children between grades 1-6. It is offered as a community outreach mission program on Tuesday afternoons from 3.30 p.m to 5.00 p.m.

 

The program aims to provide a safe, nurturing & secure environment, where youth can build strategies to improve their reading & writing skills and receive support with math and homework completion.

 

In the Fall of 2019, St. Andrew Anglican Church introduced BrainiACTS.  BrainiACTS is a once a week, after school club that offers individual or small-group assistance with reading/literacy skills and homework completion. 

​

Building relationships, increasing confidence and developing goal setting strategies will help your child become a life long learner!

​

It is projected that the number of adults with low-literacy skills in Canada will increase from 12.4 million in 2006 to 15 million in 2031. (www.sac-oac.ca)

 

Schools and teachers are continually being asked to do more with less funding and some families are stressed, both emotionally and financially.  As a result, some children may fall through the cracks and become part of the above statistic.

 

It has been said that literacy is an essential foundational skill in the 21st century.  Research has stated that people with low literacy skills have much lower employment rates which leads to an increased risk of poverty and the need for social assistance.  It is a reality that there is a negative impact on a person’s life who has low literacy skills, no matter what stage of life they are at – youth, adult or senior.  Connections between low literacy skills and crime have also been suggested.

 

During Grades one to three children are learning to read.  After Grade three, children transition to reading to learn.  BrainiACTS focuses on children to help them build the foundational skills they need to learn to read, so they can read to learn.

 

Does your child have difficulty reading or need additional support? Are you interested in accessing an affordable and creative option to support your child’s reading development?  Complete the online registration form to begin the process.

Change a life, become a volunteer tutor!

Volunteer adult and teenage tutors are needed to help this program continue to grow.  Give the gift of reading to a child within our community. 

Changing lives through literacy!  Literacy is a skill that enables you to read, write and use math in everyday life.

 

Our volunteers help young people develop their literacy skills through a guided program and fun activities, in a safe and nurturing environment.  Your help just may change the trajectory of a young person's life in a positive way.

 

This is an opportunity for you to make a positive impact in someone’s life, pouring the blessings of your life into ‘little lives’ and sharing from your experiences. As you connect and listen, you will help young people be better equipped to navigate through life and the issues they will face. 

 

When young people are able to solve their problems with reasonable success and feel increasingly confident in their own abilities to read and write, periods of struggle gradually become less frequent and less intense.

 

They begin to trust themselves and draw upon the solid resources and coping skills they have learned and nurtured within themselves.

 

Through your efforts, we continue to be the safety net. We continue to be the ‘village it takes to raise a child’.​
