Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy

that will be for all people.  Luke 2:10

Our annual Giving Campaign for 2027 kicks off on Sunday, October 18. This year’s stewardship theme is Tell Me Something Good: Grounded in Grace and Gratitude. The Good News of God in Jesus Christ is at the heart of our life together at St. Andrew’s. We have been fundamentally shaped by God’s grace, and it is grace that serves as the foundation for both our gratitude and our generosity.

Our life together thrives because of your faithful support of St. Andrew’s. The annual giving campaign, which runs from October 18 to November 1, focuses on the financial support needed to sustain and grow the church. As you prayerfully consider your pledge this year, know that every gift is appreciated. Each gift matters. May we give generously and joyfully so that St. Andrew’s continues to grow in Christ’s grace, sharing God’s Good News and love.

Pledge commitment packets will be available for you to pick up before and after worship on Sunday, October 18. Packets that are not picked up will be mailed the following week. Our ingathering will be November 1, when we will celebrate after worship with a festive reception.

Roof Replacement & Steeple Improvements

Roof Work Continues through the Fall

Please Use Caution

Restoration work on the roof continues this week. Please avoid the work areas which will be active each weekday.

Your Vestry has worked hard to negotiate many considerations and hurdles in the planning of this project. Because the work is fully covered in our insurance claim for hail damage from a major storm in 2025, we are able to complete these essential repairs without touching our operating budget. If you would like to learn more, please contact your Senior Warden, Tim Fleming, or any Vestry member. Work is expected to continue for several months for the full project. In the meantime, we can enjoy the results that already are starting to take shape.
