Do you have a favorite hymn? Is there something you have been longing to sing? One of the things we missed most about in-person worship was singing together. Let us know what you want to sing in worship this summer. We will feature congregational favorites through Labor Day. Send your suggestions to Ann Doyle, at ann.doyle1313@gmail.com.

Successful Clothing Drive |
|
|
|
Thank you for your support in making our clothing drive a success with your trademark St. Andrew's generosity. The Jones Anderson family spearheaded this effort and partnered with Out of the Garden to offer needed clothes to families at our neighborhood elementary school. You donated so many clothes that we needed an additional day for distribution. |

Summer Volunteer Help Needed for Abundant Life |
|
St. Andrew’s volunteers have been helping deliver food boxes to our East Greensboro neighbors on Tuesday afternoons as part of our community’s commitment to the Abundant Life ministry. The work is well organized by Audra Abt (whom many of you know) and it’s easy for a beginner to fit into the flow. The arrival time at Holy Spirit Church on Yanceyville Street is 1:00 and the work is done by 3:30. We need some St. Andrew’s folks to volunteer to help out for August 17, August 31, and September 7. You can sign up for one or more Tuesdays. The work is not heavy lifting by anyone’s definition. It’s really amazing to see the generosity of local store owners and farmers, and you’ll get a big psychological boost, knowing you’re feeding hungry neighbors. Call Virginia Haskett at 336-482-7411 or Barbara Van Cleve at 336-707-8355 to sign up for one, two, or all three shifts.
