This Sunday the first of the four Ministry Sundays will take place,
focusing on the Education Ministries at St. Andrew's. Six ministries,

Circle, Nursery, Teen Group and Youth Ministries, work to help members
of the parish grow in their faith through education and prayer.

can get involved.

The first Love Thy Neighborhood dinner of the new season will take place this Thursday evening. Doors will open at 5:15 and dinner will be served from 5:30 until 6:30. Volunteers are need before, during and after the dinner - come share a meal and some of the workload! There are a variety of jobs that need doing. If you can't make it to this month's dinner, please consider volunteering to join one of the teams working on future dinners. Help is always needed - see Jeff Haugaard for more details. Confirmation Class A confirmation class for teens ages 13 - 18 is being considered for this fall. All interested teens and their parents are invited to a brief meeting to discuss the particulars - Sunday after the 10 a.m. service in the Children's Chapel. St. Francis Sunday
Parking Reminder Parking at St. Andrew's is a challenge! During the week there are only a few spaces in the church lot. Because of the demand for on-street parking we occasionally get non-churchgoers using the lot. To ensure that the few spaces we have are available for parishioners and our tenants at New Visions we tow cars without St. Andrew's parking permits. If you do not have one you can obtain one from the Parish Office. Sunday parking is available at the St. Rose lot adjacent to the church lot (accessible from Western Ave.)  Condolences Stephen
Smith, son of Julia and Bob Smith, died this past week: May light
perpetual shine upon him. Services will be held at the Schoharie Reformed Church Saturday at 10:00 a.m. - an obituary and information can be found here. Please keep Julia, Bob, Stephen's wife and two sons and all of the Smith family in your prayers.
Community Picnic Many thanks to everyone who made this years picnic such a success! From set-up to clean-up members of the parish worked hard to create a wonderful event. Special kudos go to Martha Iannacone for coordinating things and to Len Sipple for acting as grillmaster. Photos from the picnic can be found on line here. |

St.
Francis loved every living thing in God's creation. We honor him today
as a patron saint of the environment. Blessed Francis reminds us that
we are stewards of God's creation. Sunday October 4th we will celebrate
the life of St. Francis by being stewards of our own plot of land! Come
ready to pitch in after the 10 am service as we take care of the fall
chores outside the church.
