Message for the 5th Sunday in Lent – April 6, 2025
We’re heading back into the story of Luke’s Gospel as we approach Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter. This week we looked at Jesus’ teaching in Luke 9:18-27 and reflected on how saying no to ourselves can free us to say yes to God and to others.
Join us at 10:30am as we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and the victory of God’s love over the power of death. Worship will include special music from the St. Andrew’s Choir and Music Team.
Join us for our Good Friday Service on April 18th at 11:00am. We will journey together through the story of Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice through the dramatic reading of Scripture and special music from our Choir and Music Team.
Palm Sunday is when we celebrate Jesus coming to Jerusalem as God’s chosen king, a different kind of king who suffers and dies to bring forgiveness and peace.

On Sunday March 30 Rev. John Read and Rev. Aaron Gerrard had another conversation to close out our shared series on Romans with Ancaster Village Church (AVC). John and Aaron work through what we learned from the experiment of sharing a preaching series; what we learned from Romans as a whole; and how Romans can guide us in our continuing mission as churches today.

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Ancaster
On Sunday March 23 we looked at Romans chapters 14 & 15 which deal with finding real unity in the face of significant differences. St. Andrew’s is working through Romans together with our friends from Ancaster Village Church (AVC). This week’s message was from Rev. Aaron Gerrard of AVC.
Bible Passages – Romans 14:1-15:6 | Matthew 5:17-20
On Sunday March 16 we continued into Romans chapter 13 and explored the question of how Christians should relate to the government and secular authorities. This is a difficult subject at the best of times, but especially right now. We hope this message is helpful, but recognize that may not be what you’re looking for if you’re exhausted from the news right now.

Bible Passages – Romans 13:1-14 | Matthew 5:43-48
On Sunday March 9 we moved into chapter 12 of Paul’s Letter to the Romans. We wrestled with Jesus’ call to bless those who mistreat us and reflected on how we can be transformed to spread God’s goodness even in times when we may feel powerless to change much of anything.
