Please bring in Grits, Oatmeal and Powdered Milk to the collection box in the narthex. St. Andrews is responsible for providing these items all year long for the NET Food Pantry. Consider picking up these items on your next trip to the store. Donations of other shelf-stable items like canned goods are also always welcome.

A reminder from the Management Ministry to lock doors after meetings and services. We are finding many interior doors unlocked around the church. Please lock up after you are finished with a room and please put the room back the way is supposed to be.

One of the things about being a Christian is knowing a thing or two about the One we follow: Jesus Christ. At its heart, the Gospel Reading Project (GRP) is simple: read the Gospels from beginning to end. The whole congregation is invited to follow a plan that provides daily readings of the four Gospels starting November 25, 2018 through June 9, 2019. An important part of the GRP is meeting with a small group to engage with and reflect on the scripture readings. These groups will be offered at different times and locations, depending on the hosts. At least one will take place during the Sunday school hour. If you are interested in hosting a small group (leader materials will be provided) please contact Camille. Stay tuned for more information in the weeks ahead.
