We'll enjoy a lunch of hamburgers, hotdogs, and drinks- and you can help! Please bring your favorite side dish or a dessert to share. The Parish Hall will be open before the service so that you can drop it off. And if you want to help grill, please see Deacon Mike!

Do you like to garden? Want to help beautify the campus for all to be reminded of God's creation? Would you like to maintain a beautiful spot for our souls laid at rest?
Join our Memorial Garden Care Crew! Come up once a month (or whenever you have time) and help pluck weeds, plant a few plants, and just generally spruce up the front of the church. We're in desperate need of a few able bodies to beautify the church. Contact Kathleen if interested.

UPDATE: Rebuild. Restore. Renew.
Last summer, we began seeking $30,000 to Rebuild, Restore, and Renew St.. Andrew's. And you went above and beyond pledging $97,240 - more than 3 times our ask!
As of today, we have (new items in bold):
- Repaired one AC unit in the sanctuary and completely replaced another.
- Started work on the library to get the building ready to rent.
- Repaired the storm damage from Hurricane Ian.
- Had 5 existing stumps ground to beautify the property.
- Inspected all of the AC units on campus for expected life and repairs.
- Purchased and installed a new amplifier for the sound system in the church.
- Removed 12 trees which were dying and posed a threat to our buildings. Trimmed many more in order to make them hurricane ready.
- Renovated our two daycare buildings and some office space in order to lease space to a local daycare, including new paint, new flooring, and replacing the toilets.
- Renovated the kitchenette in Emmanuel Hall for receptions and coffee hour events.
Keep an eye out for more promised improvements over the coming months.
