St. Andrew’s Day 2022 Sunday 27 November

On Sunday 27 November 2022 we held a special Service to celebrate St. Andrew’s Day and the 1st Sunday of Advent followed by Morning Tea and our annual St. Andrew’s Day Luncheon. The congregation was welcomed by the sound of bagpipes played by Robin Cumming. During the Service Soo-Tee and Mary Cheong were confirmed and accepted as new members. The careful planning and the full program of the St. Andrew’s Day Luncheon was appreciated and enjoyed by all. The Haggis was piped into the Memorial Hall, carried by Ian Butters, who also made the address to the Haggis.  Interesting videos were screened and background Scottish music played during the catered fabulous lunch. Hagop Harfoushian entertained us with popular ‘50s and ‘60s repertoire on the Saxophone. We said our farewells to the Lane Cove Community Chaplain Karen Paull, who after serving eight years is moving to the south coast in early 2023. There were some raffles and door prize for the lucky ones. We are delighted that we were able to donate $300 to the UCA NSW and ACT Moderator’s Flood Appeal from a very happy and successful luncheon.
