Walk to End Alzheimer's!
A group of people at St. Andrews is hosting a team walking in an upcoming Alzheimer's walk on Saturday, November 7th, at 9am to raise money for research needs increasing awareness of the diseases, and in honor of those who have passed on from them. It does it not cost anything to register for this walk. It is open to all ages and walkers or strollers are allowed. The walk will be held at the Riverfront Plaza, 2 W Independent Dr. Jacksonville, FL 32202. The route is 1.5 miles.
The Alzheimer's walk is a lot of fun that provides much info about the diseases and offers help to those living with the diseases. Please help us to spread the word about Alzheimer's awareness. Let Kathleen know if you are interested or use the button below to sign up for the St. Andrew's Angels team - note, for sign up purposes: St. Andrews Angels, Carol Childers is the team captain.

We Have A Bishop-Elect!

We give thanks for this important milestone and look with hope and excitement toward the beginning of Bishop-Elect Randy's ministry among us.
