Join Us for Worship

10 a.m. Worship (Sanctuary)

Each Sunday we worship in person and online. We are always glad when you worship with us. Nursery care and Children's Ministry are offered, and activity bags are available at the church entrance to keep little hearts and hands engaged. After worship, please join us in the Parish Hall for Coffee Hour and a special Community Conversation as part of our Easter Season formation offering.

A Community Conversation: Art, Creativity & Inspiration

May 3 after Worship (Parish Hall)

As our celebration of Easter continues, join us in the Parish Hall for a panel presentation around themes about the intersection of creativity and inspiration in art. Some of our parish artists will share about their work and process of making art—Karen Spencer (painter), Dennis Pollard (photography), Marcia Moore (painter), and Perry Boswell (multimedia / collage artist). Rev. Ginny will moderate. Come learn more about fellow parishioners, and maybe discover some new creative inspiration for yourself.

Come to EYC to Plan for Youth Sunday (and a Popup Art Party!)

May 3, 5:00-6:30 p.m. (Herman Hall)

Youth Sunday is on May 17, and it's time to get planning! This Sunday, we'll be assigning roles and responsibilities for our annual opportunity to take over the church service for a morning—and honor our awesome graduating Seniors. Show up to be sure you snag the Sunday morning job you want and stick around for an art popup (no talent required), during which we'll be creating collaborative art installations for display on Youth Sunday. This will be (super!) messy so wear clothes and shoes that can get paint on them. Yummy dinner will be served. See you Sunday, 5-6:30, in Herman Hall.  

Send Us Your Class of 2026 Graduates’ Names!

Submit by May 5

Email each graduate’s first and last name, school name, and degree to Susan at the link below by May 5 for inclusion in the May 17 bulletin. You are also welcome to include a sentence about your grad’s hopes, dreams, or next steps if you would like. We look forward to celebrating all of our Class of 2026’s milestones.

Do You Have a Rising Fifth, Sixth, or Seventh Grader?

Let’s Get You on the Jr. EYC Email List!

Beginning in the fall of 2026, we’ll be starting something new for St. Andrew’s 5th-7th graders—a weekly Jr. EYC! Much like our long-standing EYC (Episcopal Youth Community), the Jr. EYC will meet on Sunday evenings to build community, engage in service and volunteer opportunities, explore a deeper connection to faith as we grow, and best of all, to have a great time doing all of this with friends! If you have a rising 5th–7th grader in your household and are interested in learning more, reach out to Martha Chaires, Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries, at the link below. We’ll be creating a Jr. EYC email list over the next few weeks and will be sending out information about the formation of this group over the summer.

EYC, Mark Your Calendars for Paint the Town

Saturday May 9

Our middle and high school youth have an opportunity to help a member of our local community by painting their home on Saturday, May 9! We'll be teaming up with Community Housing of Greensboro and other area EYCs to paint the home of a special someone who lives alone and can no longer manage the larger home projects needed to keep her house in good repair. We'll spend the day painting siding and trim and taking a weight off of her shoulders. Lunch will be provided. This project is for anyone age 14 + , and Service Learning Hours are definitely available! Email Martha if you are interested in attending for a needed waiver, address, and more info.

Mother’s Day (& Every Day) is a Good Day to Support G.U.M. Episcopal Breakfasts

Let's REview, REfrain, and REcycle Again!

Wednesday, April 22, was Earth Day, and a fitting prompt to revisit our recycling habit. With your help, St. Andrew's can Review, Refrain, and Recycle again.

• Let's Review. Please help us by reviewing the rules for recycling in Greensboro in 2026. Not everything that's recyclable is accepted. Some items that used to be accepted no longer are. Use the City's "What Goes Where" tool (linked below) to review what is and is not accepted.

• Let's Refrain. We need to refrain from aspirational recycling. If you aren't 110% certain an item is recyclable, put it in the green trash can rather than risk contaminating bona fide recyclables and jeopardizing our recycling privileges. When in doubt, throw it out.

• Let's Recycle again! Let's use those brown recycling cans, but let's take it slow! The City says, "Recycling's as easy as 1, 2, 3." St. Andrew's says, "Recycling's as Easy as 1." Let's win with the 1st category of accepted recyclables--PAPER & CARDBOARD. If we master 1, we hope to move to 2 and 3 later. For now, we are recycling ONLY Clean, Dry, and Acceptable PAPER & CARDBOARD in our brown recycling cans. NO plastic. NO metal. NO trash.

Don't know what paper's acceptable? Click below for the City's "What Goes Where" tool.
