Sermon by The Rev. Susan Brasier, “Treasures of the Heart”

November is a bustling season in the church as we prepare for Advent, Christmas, and the many ministries taking shape for 2026. The work before our congregation is diverse and exciting, rooted in both tradition and the sacred rhythms of our faith. This Sunday, we will reflect on how we—people of faith blessed by God—step into this ancient work in pursuit of living a Christ-centered life.

First Lesson: Sirach 14:3-13
Second Lesson: Luke 12:22-34

The Ministry Committee invites you to join us on Saturday, November 22nd, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. in Kildonan Hall as we enjoy a “Prayer of Heart and Body” yoga class led by Lucinda Lyman, member of the congregation and yoga teacher!

Whether you are a beginner, a long-time practitioner, or just interested, it matters not. Perhaps you will find that yoga and its focus on the breath and body, as well as its connection to a quiet mind, will help lead to a more fruitful time of prayer. It may even become a form of prayer itself, taking you to a time of peace and relaxation.

Please RSVP at info@standrewstpaul.com by Monday, November 17th to save a spot.

Experience Advent with the Scriptures that inspire Christmas. In “Voices of Advent”, Matthew L. Skinner leads readers through biblical texts and explores how they shape our lives and Christmas celebrations. We listen as Jesus promises to return to us in the future, to John the Baptist as he prepares the way for the Messiah, to the faithful people and poets who anticipate the magnificence of Jesus’s birth, and to the angels and visionaries who praise God when Christmas dawns.

Listen carefully to the Bible’s various perspectives that shape our preparations for Christmas; you’ll hear hope in all of them. “Voices of Advent” helps readers experience Advent not only as the start of the Christian Church Year, but also as the powerful overture that sets the tone for the incredible story of Jesus.

Please join Rev. Dr. Glenn Chestnutt in this four-week Advent book study, beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 25th, and running for the following consecutive weeks of Advent. Contact the church office to purchase the book for $25.00 and to sign up for the book study, which you are able to attend either in-person or on Zoom.

En tournée mondiale, l’ensemble Les Arts Florissants rejoint la scène du Festival pour célébrer le 300ème anniversaire de l’une des œuvres les plus populaires de tous les temps, les Quatre Saisons, d’Antonio Vivaldi.

L’ensemble sera mené par Théotime Langlois de Swarte, premier violon. Le jeune violoniste virtuose offrira une interprétation qui capture le drame caractéristique des arts vénitiens : densité expressive, émotion opératique et théâtrale, et énergie jubilatoire.

Le programme inclut également des œuvres de Monteverdi et Uccellini, compositeurs du début de l’époque baroque, et de Geminiani, contemporain de Vivaldi.

« Théotime Langlois de Swarte fait preuve d’une rare expressivité, alliant virtuosité et sensibilité, dans un voyage musical où chaque mouvement résonne avec émotion. » – Classica

Les Quatre saisons, op. 8
Concerto pour violon en si bémol majeur, RV 370

As part of its world tour, the ensemble Les Arts Florissants joins the Festival stage to celebrate the 300th anniversary of one of the most popular works of all time, Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.

The ensemble will be conducted by concertmaster Théotime Langlois de Swarte. The young violin virtuoso’s interpretation captures the characteristic drama of Venetian art with its expressive density, operatic and theatrical emotion, and jubilant energy.

Traquen’Art presents THE TALLIS SCHOLARS

THE CHURCH OF ST. ANDREW & ST. PAUL, 3415, rue Redpath, coin Sherbooke, Montréal, QC, Canada

Over five decades of performance and a catalogue of award-winning recordings for Gimell, Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars have done more than any other group to establish sacred vocal music of the Renaissance as one of the great repertoires of Western classical music.

They have sought to bring Renaissance works to a wider audience in churches, cathedrals and venues on every continent on the planet except Antarctica! These include the Royal Albert Hall, the Sistine Chapel, the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall New York, the Philharmonic Hall Berlin, Saint Mark’s Venice, Seoul Arts Centre Korea, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre London, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall, Beijing Concert Hall, Megaron Athens and the Opera House Sydney.

The Tallis Scholars continue to develop their exclusive sound, praised by reviewers for its supple clarity and tone, and to bring fresh interpretations to music by contemporary as well as past composers, such as Pärt, Tavener, Whitacre, Muhly and Jackson.
