Angel Tree Gifts Collected through December 7th
Once again, we will be joining with Hope for the Holidays, an annual gift drive for children in foster care, sponsored by the Children's Home Society. For many years we have engaged in this ministry in conjunction with our celebration of St. Nicholas who blesses the gifts we send off for these children.
We ask that unwrapped presents be delivered to the church by December 7th. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping to provide a joyful holiday season to children in need.

St. Andrew's Prepares for Afghan Refugees
St. Andrew’s is joining with St. Francis Episcopal Church and with Church World Services to support an Afghan family in their upcoming resettlement process in Greensboro. The Mission and Outreach Committee has an initial budget of $5,000 to support at least one family’s housing needs for 5-6 months. Additionally, each St. Andrew’s interest group (choir, youth, vestry, etc.) will help by adopting a particular form of support for the family, such as household items or food. There will be other ways to help that involve some advance training, such as transportation assistance and educational outreach. If you would like to help in any of these ways or have questions, please contact Doug Sanecki at dpsanecki@gmail.com.

Remember These 3 Things on Nov. 13th
The Episcopal Church has designed the Day of Love to bring awareness to World Kindness Day and the ONE THOUSAND DAYS OF LOVE campaign. The purpose is to highlight good deeds in our homes, congregations, and our communities, focusing on the positive power and the common thread of love that binds us. November 13 will be a day devoted to the positive potential of both large and small acts of love.
Please join us by taking part in three acts of love:
1. Check-in with someone you haven’t seen recently.
2. Thank someone special in your life.
3. Do something for children.
