Reflecting on Food and Hunger
It is often around a dinner table that the cares of the world fall away, and space is made for one another. It is where barriers soften, stories are shared, and community is strengthened.
During this season of Lent, we invite you to participate in an on-line, self-directed or in-person study of the book “Bless Break Share: Recipes for Faithful Living”. In the on-line six-week series, United Church of Canada Moderator Rev. Dr. Christine Jerrett, will guide the exploration of food and hunger and the ways that food can nourish both the body and soul. These online presentations are available and open to everyone so you can participate at your own pace. You can register at: https://churchx.ca/local/shop/product.php?id=363 Course price is $39.99.
In addition, or as an alternative, we will gather in person in the Dining Hall at St. Andrew’s 8 p.m. on March 11th and April 1st.
We will share a meal and recipes and discuss the ideas presented in the book. The cost of the book is $15. Copies may be picked up at the church office or on Sunday mornings at St. Andrew’s.
All are welcome to join us for this meaningful Lenten journey of reflection, discussion, learning, and fellowship.

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 186 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.
