 Mother's
Day Food Drive
This year St. Andrew's
will be celebrating Mother's Day with a food drive to support the Focus
Food Pantry. We are asking parishioners to bring a bag of
groceries to church on Mother's Day, or earlier that week. These
donations will be part of our offering on Mother's Day
Celebrate Earth Day on Sunday
As stewards of God’s creation we are
called to care for the Earth. We will help care for our patch of ground
after the 10:00 a.m. service this Sunday – come help beautify St
Andrew’s! Jobs of every size and skill are available, tools will be
provided.
Easter Egg Hunt 
The children of the parish will celebrate the Easter
season with an Egg Hunt after the 10:00 a.m. worship service on Sunday.
Forward
Day by Day
Forward Day
by Day is a publication of the Episcopal Church which presents short,
daily devotional messages based on the daily lectionary. Beginning this
Tuesday members of St. Andrew's will be receiving these messages via
e-mail. If you do not wish to receive Forward Day by Day by e-mail
please contact the parish office (you may reply to this e-mail) and you
will be removed from the list.
Prayer Teams
We continue the new
ministry begun during Lent of offering prayer teams each Sunday at
the back of the church during the 10:00 am communion time. The teams
are there to pray with people about their expressed needs. This is a
time for prayer for guidance, healing or any other concerns
- simply identify your prayer concern and we will pray with you.
Your prayer concern is confidential and because we are not counselors,
we ask you to state your prayer need briefly.
 Sunday Goodies
Everyone enjoys the home-made
treats which are offered at coffee hour on Sundays. The Hospitality
Committee invites you to share your own home-made favorites with your
friends at St. Andrew's! All sorts of treats are welcome, simply leave
what you have brought in the kitchen before the service and John and
Jeff will take care of the rest.
Mesi!
Mesi means thank you in Creole, the
language of Haiti. A big mesi goes out to
everyone who worked so hard to make Saturday night's concert and dinner
in support of the Haiti Mission a success. Over 100 people came to
enjoy the music and food and over $1,000 was raised. Special thanks
goes to Joseph Eppink and Richard Putorti for leading the music
and Dorothy Johnson for coordinating the dinner.
Please be sure to keep Edge Bagg and the other
members of the mission team leaving this Thursday in your prayers
while they are in Haiti.
