St. Andrews staffed the N.E.T. Food Pantry in June. 62 needy families were given a 3-day supply of food.

In my 30 years with the N.E.T. Food Pantry, I have never experienced a more hectic month. For the first two weeks of June, early voting for the 6th district was held in the Tucker Recreation Center where our pantry is located. Since it was a very contentious election, our hallway was mobbed with early voters. Parking was difficult. To add to the confusion, Tucker Rec’s summer camps were in full swing.

Many thanks to Nancy Mills, Ramona Creagh, Lettie Hudson, Diane MacFarland, Pat Creasman and Allen Smith, who served in the Pantry.

For any who might not know, the 39ers is a group of folks who like to meet, eat and have fellowship together. This fall we will begin on Monday, September 11 with a new idea. In the past, we have met in Heffner Hall and had a catered lunch and sometimes a program. This year we will be lunching at local restaurants. ‘Folks at Northlake is the first one chosen for this year. We will meet there at Noon and would welcome any and all who would like to join us. We will carpool from the office side of the church, if that is more convenient. The carpool will leave at 11:45.

Future meetings are planned for the First Monday of the month. Please contact Charles Mills or Sarah Slusher via the office@SAPCtucker.org  with any questions.

Since SAPC isn’t staging our Race For Grace (R4G) this year, Eric Macskill, the owner of the local gym Eric’s FitLab has decided to donate 10% of the profits from his 5K on Saturday, Oct. 14 to our youth missions.

Let’s all support this local business and friend of our church.  Eric has always supported our race and now he’s supporting our fundraiser.  He would love to see volunteers and runners from the St. Andrews family.

For more information on the race, go to Active or check on Superheroes Vs. Villains.  

Our tradition at St. Andrews is to kick off the church school year with an old-fashioned Rally Day.  Join us on Sunday, Sept. 10, 9 a.m. in Heffner Hall for breakfast snacks and information about Christian Education at St. Andrews.

Every fall our faithful barbeque cooks spend a good bit of time on a Saturday night getting the meat ready for our fall BBQ.  Save the date so you can be a part of this delicious tradition.  Sunday, Oct. 1, after the worship service, we will convene to Heffner Hall for a feast and a time of fellowship.

You can volunteer to help with the grilling on Saturday night, or help with preparing the meat Sunday morning, serving, cleaning up and/or bring a side dish or dessert.
