Tree of Life

Located in the church sanctuary, the tree’s great expanse of branches symbolizes life, and our mission to reach out to the community. The trunk nurtures and sustains life, defining the vigor with which St. Andrew’s United Church continues to provide hope, respect and compassion for all.

The leaves and foundation stones may be inscribed to honour, highlight, commemorate or memorialize significant people and events in our lives.

Please join us by honouring a loved one and sharing with others the joy of the meaningful events that have touched and illuminated your life.
