Join us this Sunday, online or in-person, at 10:30 a.m. as we continue to celebrate the resurrection of Christ! This week we will have (masked & spaced) congregational singing as well as sung Eucharist.
We will again have a full offertory and will receive communion at the altar rail! For the offertory, please allow the ushers to come to you with the plate. For communion, please wait in your pew until you are directed to stand at the altar rail by an usher. Please keep a comfortable distance between family units.
The number of Covid-19 cases and the positivity rate in Jacksonville has GREATLY improved, but is still serious. We encourage you to join us in person if you feel comfortable, or join us online for as long as you need!

Ok, most of you already know Kathleen. Kathleen has been a member of St. Andrew’s since her family moved to Jacksonville from Montana in 1974. She was confirmed here by Bishop Cerveny and has been a Sunday School teacher, youth group leader, choir member and money counter. And as of Monday, May 10th, Kathleen Slama will be joining the St. Andrew's Staff as our new Parish Administrator!
Kathleen graduated from Jacksonville University with a major in Computer Science and Spanish and worked as a programmer and project manager at Prudential for a little over 31 years. Kathleen has extensive organizational, computer, and communication skills that will help to support and grow St. Andrew's as we continue to expand our programming.
Kathleen and her sons, Adam (17) and John (14), share a house with her mom, Jane Palmer, and a large collection of pets. When she’s not doing something with the boys, she enjoys reading, watching murder mysteries and crafts such as scrapbooking, card-making and creating t-shirts for her family.
Starting Monday, you can reach her at [email protected] or at (904)725-6566. Welcome to the St. Andrew's Staff, Kathleen!

Thank you to all who contributed to a special collection for Tracy Joshua and her family who experienced a house fire two weeks ago. This week, they received a negative asbestos test on their former house (so they can finally get some of their items), and they moved into their new home this week! Your gifts were much appreciated and will be a great help with starting this new chapter in their lives.
From Tracy: "My family and I would like to extend our most sincere gratitude to the St. Andrew's church family. The incredible outpouring of love and support given to us during the past week has been truly humbling. We are now, and will forever be grateful to those who have given their assistance, as we attempt to make a fresh start in our lives. There is no way this would have been possible without all of you. This example of loving our neighbors as we love ourselves is the exact lesson we have been teaching our children since birth. When the time comes, we vow to show the same love and support to those who need it, just as you all have shown us. May God bless you and keep you always."
