Sunday School

Wednesday, September 10th, at 6 p.m. will be the kick off for our WOW (What’s on Wednesday) program.  We will be meeting twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesdays  celebrating our church family, gathering as an intergenerational community to learn, fellowship, laugh and strengthen the ties that bind.  Our WOW kickoff will be a picnic, complete with lawn games for all.  Please bring a dish to share as well as any lawn games to play.

We officially launched our new hymnal in Sunday’s worship service.  There was lots of singing, a Litany of Dedication and lots of messages about the inspiration of song in our faith lives.  Stay tuned for all the ways Glory to God will be part of our Worship in the coming years.

If you want a copy of the retiring Presbyterian Hymnal or the Rainbow Book, stop by the church office between 9 – 1, Monday through Friday to pick one up from the work room.

Help the Deacons update the church directory for our anticipated new pastor.  Please come by the Deacons’ table at the Church Family meeting on August 24, to confirm that your information is up-to-date.  You can update your photos in the directory by emailing the chair of the deacons c/o office@standrewspresbyterian.org or leave a copy of the photo in the Deacons’ mailbox in the church office.We need some volunteer photographers for the meeting in case anyone is photo ready Sunday.

On Sunday, September 7th at 10 a.m. our Sunday School classes kick off another school year.  Please drop by the Narthex between the services to enjoy coffee and cinnamon buns while you learn about our children and adult education offerings.  Classes start at 10:15 a.m.  We look forward to seeing you.

We have four active supper clubs at St. Andrews.  Three meet area restaurants, of two of these groups have a special interest in Farm-to-Table dining.  The fourth group dines at members’ homes, and all groups try to meet once a month.  Contact the Office at office@standrewspresbyterian.org to find out more.

What can St. Andrews do?  We are praying each day for these children and acting through giving financially and with the Gift of the Heart Hygience and School Kids.  Visit the table in the Narthex (church lobby) to see the kits and get more information.

Everyone is invited to Heffner Hall following worship this Sunday, August 24th for our second family meting.  The Session will report on responses from the June information and share information about upcoming events.  The Pastoral Nominating Committee will have an update also.  Childcare will be provided.

Stop by Bruster’s Thursday night between 5 and 8 p.m. to buy yummy treats and support SAS.  They are kicking off the school year by having a little fellowship and fundraiser on Thursday, August 21.

Do your children have lots of energy and love to bounce?  Does music make them move around the room? St. Andrews Presbyterian Church needs them in worship.

The St. Andrews Worship Ministry will offer liturgical dance/creative movement to the children of St. Andrews School and St. Andrews Church starting September 10 at 5:00 p.m. in the church sanctuary.

Children of all ages and skill levels will be able to participate in this program with the goal of bringing dance and creative movement to the worship service on a monthly basis.  The program is led by Phyllis Bearden, Kathy Patterson and Rachel Ellingson, who will work with kids at all levels with the end dances allowing participation for kids from three to twelve. Dancers with experience will have the benefit of having Kathy, a liturgical dancer who has led many troupes, lead instruction.  Younger children, novices – girls and boys – will have fun and learn to be a part of an energetic group that becomes a joyous part of worship.

Practices will be at 5:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday starting September 10.

Your child can continue musical training by staying for children’s choir at 5:30 p.m., led by St. Andrews Director of Music, David Lukens.  David is a trained music educator who works full time as a music educator in Gwinnett County.  If you appreciate the value of music and its great affect on children’s education, you can have your child be part of the great music program at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church.  This choir will be part of worship on a monthly basis and integrate with the other worship arts programs.

If you have questions, please email Phyllis at pbearden47@bellsouth.net.  Applications will be available at the school, the church office, the church narthex on Sunday mornings and by email.

Once you complete the application, you can leave it in the school office or the church office.  You may also email it to Phyllis at the above address.
