Debbie Roi in a warm, wonderful homecoming on our anniversary.
We have lots more in store for you on the fourth Sunday of the every month in 2020. Come and see what we’re up to.

Community Outreach Speaker Series
“Celebrate Soil”
The human race is dependent on soil for food. In many countries around the world soil erosion and poisoning of the soil has led to famine. And, soil erosion contributes to climate change as carbons are released into the atmosphere when soil erodes.
Whether you farm hundreds of acres or tend a small backyard garden, understanding how to manage your soil is key to healthy, sustainable crops.
Join Paul and Jean Sullivan, from Sullivan Agro as they help us think about, learn about, and celebrate soil. Whether its cover crops, tillage, technology, compaction, nutrition, soil life or rotation, we’ll discuss the soil and how to care for and sustain it well into the future.
Please note that the start time for this event only is being moved from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Our Origins
In 1840, the first congregation of St. Andrew’s United Church of Pakenham gathered together in worship. The people in that first congregation, made up of predominantly pioneering families from Ireland and Scotland, had sailed across the Atlantic, then up the St. Lawrence by steamer to Brockville, then by foot to Perth and finally through rough forest trails to their parcels of land in Pakenham. For the 175 years since that first gathering, subsequent generations have continued the tradition of worship with determination, faith, love and a strong sense of community. To this day outreach remains the heart and soul of our faith family.

You are welcome at St. Andrew's for worship, musical and special events and of course for our famous country church suppers.
