E.P.I.C. SUNDAY – January 12, 2025

Dear Members and Adherents:
It gives me much pleasure to inform you that the Kirk Session,
upon recommendation of the Search Committee, is extending
an invitation to a candidate to preach for the call to St.
Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Brampton, Ontario, on
Sunday, January 12, 2025 at the regular 10:30 a.m. worship
service.
On this date of January 12, 2025, there will be a
congregational meeting for the purpose of (a) Guarantee of the
St. Andrew’s congregation to the Presbytery of Brampton of the
Presbyterian Church in Canada for the minister’s stipend; and
(b) the name of the minister to be inserted for the call.
If the call is offered, members and adherents of St. Andrew’s
are invited to sign to, subscribe and concur in the call.
The congregation will be given the opportunity to meet and
greet the candidate informally on Saturday, January 11, 2025
from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at an ‘open house’ in the Great
Hall. The Council of Elders will meet with the candidate in
Rooms 205 and 206 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
I know that this will make for a busy weekend for you at St.
Andrew’s, but I am sure you will agree with me that, although it
will be a full weekend, it should at the same time be an
enjoyable one, as each of you has his or her part in
determining the future of the congregation.
This correspondence is being given to you at the earliest
possible time in order that you may plan and commit the
weekend of January 11-12, 2025 to your Church to be able to
make an informed decision for the congregation’s future.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your
elder or me.
Together in our Lord’s Service,

The Reverend Wayne J. Baswick, Interim Moderator
