Sally is on to her Next Great Adventure!
We have been so fortunate to have Sally Boyd as our Children's and Youth Minister since Fall of 2022. In December, Sally graduated Summa Cum Laude with her B.S. in Anthropology, and we couldn't be prouder! But she is now moving on to her next great adventure- first as an Outdoor Field Instructor in Ohio before moving to Europe for Grad School!
Sally's last Sunday with us will be February 8th (but you'll see her around for the Parish Retreat and the Pancake Supper). Please join us as we say "Bon Voyage!"

LAST CHANCE:
Parish Retreat at Camp Weed!
We’ll gather for dinner on Friday, February 13th, 2026 and conclude after worship on Sunday, February 15th. And our brothers and sisters from Redeemer will be joining us!
Each year, our time together at Camp Weed offers us the gift of stepping away from our routines and stepping more deeply into our life as a church community. It is a time for rest, renewal, laughter, worship, and, perhaps most importantly, connection.
This year’s retreat theme is: All In: One Body, Many Gifts. As St. Paul reminds us, “We are the body of Christ, and individually members of it” (1 Corinthians 12:27). A healthy body depends on movement, participation, and the active engagement of every part. When one part of the body is unused, it weakens. When every part is engaged, the whole body thrives.
In recent years, many churches, including our own, have felt the effects of a cultural shift toward consuming church rather than practicing it. But the church has never been called to be an audience; we have been called to be a body: the living, breathing, serving, worshiping, growing body of Christ. Our parish retreat is the perfect place to practice this together.
At Camp Weed, we will explore what it means to invest more deeply in one another and in our shared ministry. Whether you are a longtime member or brand new to St. Andrew's, whether you feel deeply connected or unsure of where you fit, this retreat is for you. Your presence truly matters and the body is incomplete without you. I hope you will join us for this holy and joyful time away. Registration is now open - pick up a registration form in the Narthex or you can find pricing info here.
Come rest. Come reconnect. Come discover how God is inviting you to be “all in.”

Cursillo is Almost Here!
Registration is now open for:
Co-Ed Cursillo
Thursday, February 26, 2026 4:00 PM
Sunday, March 1, 2026 6:00 PM
What is Cursillo?
Cursillo teaches how you might move toward living a more authentic Christian lifestyle. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, Cursillo will help keep you moving forward.
What happens at the three-day weekend?
The weekend begins on Thursday evening after dinner and ends on Sunday afternoon. During the course of the weekend you will hear fifteen 15-20 minute talks given by both lay persons and clergy, each talk building on the others. You will examine what is important in your life, explore the meaning of God’s Grace, learn about how study, piety, and action are necessary in your life, and you will experience the meaning of community in a new and meaningful way. You will also learn what is necessary to continue this journey after your weekend. You will hear 5 brief meditations and participate in 3 Eucharists.
If you want to become closer to God, and experience Jesus as a brother and friend, develop real relationships with your community, and put some of the puzzle pieces together about this thing called Christianity, you will benefit and enjoy the Cursillo experience.
How do you register?
To register follow this link: https://campweed.campbrainregistration.com/. If you already have an account at Camp Weed just go the Cursillo registration link. If you don’t have an account, you will need to create one first. Just follow the instructions. You will register as a pilgrim not as a member of the team. Fill out all of the information.
