about us & staff
St. Andrew’s United Church (Westwood) & Norwood United Church are distinct congregations of The United Church of Canada which:
-form The Norwood-Westwood Pastoral Charge
-share a full-time Ordained Minister and part-time Administrative Assistant
-co-operate and seek to be mutually supportive
In non-Covid times, the congregations have
-served free Community Suppers year round, on the last Sunday of the month
-hosted the Annual “Strawberry Supper” (on the 3rd Wednesday in June)
-observed a month of Sabbath in July, and combine for services during August
-combined for worship (Sunday after Christmas, Good Friday, Easter Sunrise, Annual Picnic, and Church Anniversaries etc.)
Our congregations continue to be organized with a "Session" (Elders) which, with the Minister, oversees worship and related areas, and a "Board of Stewards" which oversees finances and maintaining our fine church buildings and property. The Pastoral Charge Official Board generally meets spring/autumn or when necessary to oversee matters that affect both congregations. Occasionally, a joint meeting of the Sessions is convened to consider matters under consideration by the whole United Church, i.e., "remits."
