Expat Living

St. Andrew’s Anglican

Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! On this Easter Sunday, April 16, St. Andrew’s Anglican Church joins with Christians all over the world to celebrate the miracle of Jesus’s resurrection.

Anyone living at Lakeside soon realizes there are many charities working to provide for the people and animals here.  Dinners, special events, donation jars, consignment stores and church collections all provide the funds necessary for projects and budget needs.
