Let’s put our love in action by making a giving commitment for 2025!

This year as we pause to consider the role of giving in our walk of faith, we’ll be focusing on giving as an action. That is, in addition to all the other ways we put our faith into action, we’ll explore giving as love in action!

In response to God’s overwhelming love for us, St. Andrew partners and friends are invited to return a giving commitment in worship this Sunday.

All we have comes from God and belongs to God. Returning an offering of any amount over the course of the year simply acknowledges that truth. It’s also one way we love one another…not in word or speech, but in action!

2025 Stewardship Letter

2025 Commitment Form

Join the Wednesday morning Bible study group!

The study continues Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. All are welcome!
Join us for a Fall Bible Study on the Greatest Commandments! This week we’ll be exploring the meaning of "LORD—followed by "Love," "Heart," "Soul," and "Strength" in coming weeks. We will look at these words in their original Hebrew and Greek contexts and trace their use throughout Scripture. Together, we’ll reflect on how these teachings shape our faith and guide our love for God and our neighbor.

Invite a friend to dinner on Tuesday the 26th

All are welcome to join us for a delicious meal served in a comfortable dining environment right here at St. Andrew! All this is courtesy of the Family Supper Table team—and local restaurants and culinary programs. The meal is free of charge but donations are accepted. Everyone is invited!

Both outdoor chapel motions were approved at Sunday’s meeting—the outdoor chapel project will proceed

St. Andrew partners and friends will be receiving a letter this week to help leaders assess how we will make the open-air sanctuary project a reality—together.  We’re asking you to indicate if you can extend your already generous pledge by filling out the pledge form enclosed in that letter. Will you share whether you can help?  And if you can do that for one year or two additional yeas? OR…whether you are interested in giving an annual gift or a one-time gift like those already promised by some of our leadership givers?

Please consider what you are willing and able to do and return the 2024 pledge form to us by October 15th. There will be a basket in the lobby.  

Many thanks for your commitment to our mission of reaching out to those who are not yet here. Thank you for inviting others into this community of people who gather for worship, learning and service; who are open to experiencing “God with us”; and who seek to grow in faith!

Pastor Lisa granted time for two mini sabbaticals in 2025.

The council voted to afford Pastor Lisa two month-long blocks of sabbatical time: May 15-June 15 and the month of August next year.  Ministry at St Andrew has been full with not only the regular demands but also the extra workload associated with the Outdoor Sanctuary and Capital Appeal.  The council voted unanimously in support of the proposal.  St Andrew's sabbatical policy recommends a sabbatical every 4-6 years.  Pastor Lisa's last sabbatical was in 2017.

Craft workshops begin Fridays at 10:00

Women will gather in the fellowship hall on Fridays to begin work on Holiday Fair crafts. Sometimes this is as simple as painting wooden hearts or gluing something….no great ability required! If you want to join the Hope Circle craft team, just come on down.
