We are all part of the larger story of The Communion of Saints. Please join us in Sunday School this week as we discover what it means to be a saint - living and dead, known and unknown. In both our Godly Play and Holy Troublemakers groups, we will celebrate those who have shown us the way of faith and the Kingdom of Heaven.



Both groups meet at 9:45 am in the Sunday School room. All are welcome, and we would love to see you there!

Our Living Epistles did an amazing job last Sunday! Thank you, Ari, Elijah, Kiara, and Graciela, for sharing your hearts with us! Enjoy this video of Ari telling us what she loves most about St. Andrew's!

Upcoming Events for Children & Families

Family Day of Service

Our next Family Day of Service is coming up on Saturday, October 31, at 8:45 am! All children and their families are invited to help with Saturday Breakfast in the Parish Hall as we serve our unhoused neighbors. Please join us as we share in this important ministry at St. Andrew's. All ages are welcome. Please let me know if you can attend.

A Few Thoughts to Share

St. Andrew's Families,

We have so many wonderful events coming up at St. Andrew's! Next Saturday, October 31, is our Family Day of Service. We would love for you and your family to join us! It's an incredibly meaningful way for all of us, even the youngest of our parishioners, to live out our faith.

The next day, Sunday, November 1, we will join together as a community in the sanctuary for 10:00 worship and Prayer Stations. It will be a time of remembrance, reflection, and gratitude as we explore deeper connections with prayer. There will be something for everyone, and all are encouraged to participate.

After that, we have the Feast of St. Andrew's coming up on November 15, Intergenerational Advent Wreath Making the following Sunday, and then we're at the start of Advent!

We would love to welcome you to any and all of our upcoming events, so please join us!

Please reach out with any questions or suggestions on how we can best partner with your family. I would love to hear from you!

Blessings,

Deidra

Director of Children and Family Ministries

Almighty and everlasting God, increase in us the gifts of faith, hope, and charity; and, that we may obtain what you promise, make us love what you command; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
