The meetings usually take place on the third Saturday of each month, at the church @ 8:00 am.
This is also an intergenerational group. It's a fantastic opportunity for men to gather to lean on each other for support, accountability, brotherhood and aiming to grow in faith and spiritual maturity.
Women's Small Group
This intergenerational meeting is generally held on the fourth Saturday of each month, typically accompanied with sweet goodies.
Next meet on June 27 @ 9am, at the church: Ladies Tea/Treats and Clothing Swap.
If you're able, please bring a breakfast item to share.
Prayer for the children and youth
We would love to welcome more prayer warriors to this important ministry, which normally meets on the third Friday of each month at 10:30 AM at the church.
Please note that for this month only, the meeting took place on the second Friday, June 12th.
Additionally, the group will not meet during the months of July and August, but everyone is encouraged to continue praying individually. We will resume our regular meetings in September.

50+ Club
We had our first meeting of the 50+ Club for the fall season on October 21st, with 17 “mature” participants in attendance. My assessment: everyone enjoyed the refreshments, had fun, was encouraged by an inspiring talk by Nicky Gumbel (a follow-up to ALPHA), met some new members, learned to “Think Fast,” and shared ideas for future gatherings (scheduled for the third Tuesday of each month).
I normally send this update only to those who have attended, but I’ve asked to include it in the next general mail-out of What’s Happening at St. Andrew’s—thinking some of you might be curious about what we’re up to and what the 50+ Club is all about.
By the way, everyone is welcome to attend—we don’t check age cards! So, feel free to join us or drop in for a visit anytime.
The second meeting was on November 18th. Hosts: Doris & Tim Sabean. We’re never quite sure what Doris and Tim have planned — but it’s always exciting! We enjoyed a devotional with some words of wisdom, shared coffee/tea and snacks, sang a few songs (in preparation for visits to seniors’ homes and perhaps a “club song” during a future worship service — John Betts, take note!), and planed our upcoming activities.
The third meeting was on December 16th. Hosts: Judy Wood & Pauline Ward. We had a Yankee Swap! Each person attending brought a wrapped gift valued at $10 or less. In a swap, everyone select a gift, with opportunities to trade for another as they’re revealed—until everyone ends up with one. If the gift is specifically for a man or woman, it should be labeled accordingly; if it’s suitable for anyone, no label is needed. Along with the Swap, we enjoyed our usual activities—coffee/tea, snacks, devotional time, and prayer.
The fourth meeting was on January 20th. Hosts: Angie & Marius Page. We met at church for coffee & snack, followed by a devotion time (as a devotional we listened to Nicky Gumbel's talk number 3 of "A Life Worth Living" "A New Attitude" based on Philippians 2:1-11), and then went for a walk at YMCA Moncton North (My first time on the track there and highly recommend it as a very nice place to walk especially in winter. It is easy to access and anyone is welcome at no cost. They also have a number of other activities you can access there, which you can explore).
The fifth meeting was on February 17th. In addition to our regular activities, we practiced several songs with Doris to sing as a group during the offering at the worship service on Sunday, March 22nd, and at The Salvation Army Home in Riverview on Monday, March 23rd, at 2:00 PM.
The sixth meeting was on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, so we wore green instead of our 50+ shirts. The hosts Rosalyn Hood and Lenore Bulmer led the devotion using a Nicky Gumbel video—Lesson 5: New Friendships.
The seventh meeting was held on April 21st and hosted by Mary Bryenton; Angie also led one of her exciting games.
We held our eighth meeting on May 19th with guest speaker Ellen Jeffries from the city, who told us all about the great senior events coming up this summer. To wrap up the season, we enjoyed a delicious potluck lunch filled with sandwiches and sweets!
Looking Ahead
More ideas we’re considering:
Going bowling
Visiting an Escape Room (yes, that’s how it’s spelled!)
Sharing a meal out together for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays)
Hosting a movie night
The options are endless—and we’d love to hear your suggestions!
That’s all for now (I do sound like a radio host, don’t I? I always wanted to be one!).
If I’ve missed anything, please let me know.
Hope to see you all in the fall!
Warm regards,
Harold Wilson

Questions on Faith and Life
Do you have questions about faith or life? Are there topics you’d like to explore or experience more deeply?
If there’s enough interest, we may offer a course or Small Group series on your suggested topic during the autumn season of 2025, held on Sundays. Depending on the content, it may be open to all or geared toward a specific age group or life stage. The series could run for a few weeks or span several months—we’re still figuring that part out.
We want to hear from you! The survey will remain open all summer, and all responses will go directly to our Lead Pastor (don’t worry—he’s friendly and won’t bite, we promise!).
Let’s grow in faith together. Click here to share your thoughts.
