God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen [revised] and We Three Kings [a la BNL] | Christmas 2022

God rest you, queer and questioning,
your anxious hearts be still,
Believe that you are deeply known
and part of God’s good will
For all to live as one in peace;
the global dream fulfilled.

St. Andrew's is a queer-affirming congregation of ‪@UnitedChurchCda‬. Our mission is to live, work and worship in an intensely urban setting. We are a Christian congregation set among the streets and tall towers at Yonge & Bloor, the busiest intersection in Canada.
We are a warm, welcoming, diverse and inclusive community of faith. The roots of our congregation reach back to 1830, and our current visioning looks forward to our 200th anniversary and beyond.
