Dear Members and Friends of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church,

We are so pleased to invite you to the first in person Fall Gala since 2019 in support of our Revive and Restore projects, Families Forward, and the Friendship Shelter. It is just around the corner now on Saturday, October 1, 2022, starting at 5:00 pm at Andrei’s Conscious Cuisine in Irvine. Tickets include dinner with a choice of entrees and valet parking. The ticket price is $100 per person. If you have not already purchased your ticket it’s not too late! Ticket sales continue through September 26 at noon.

The link to this year’s ticket sales and auction site is: ourfundraiser.link/FallGala10_2022. Once you purchase your tickets, you will receive an access code which you will use to log in to Auctria. When you purchase your tickets, you will also select an entrée—New York steak, grilled salmon, roasted chicken, and vegetarian ragout are the options available.

Once you have purchased your tickets, you will be able to view the catalog of auction items available. Bidding on silent auction items will begin at 1:00 pm on Sunday, September 25 and end at 6:00 pm on Saturday, October 1. When you view the silent auction catalog, please note we will be continuing to add items as the donations come in so you’ll want to check the site frequently. If you still wish to donate something for the auctions, please email a photo and description to Catherine Sharbaugh.

The live auction and paddle bids will take place at the event.

To insure everyone’s safety, please test for Covid on the day of the event before attending. We will have extra test kits at the door for anyone who needs one.

If you cannot attend the Fall Gala, you can still donate and participate in the raffle and online silent auction. Please register without purchasing a Fall Gala ticket in order to take part.

When you purchase your ticket, you will be given the option to register a credit card. If you prefer to pay by Zelle or check, please add a note that it is for the Fall Gala tickets so we can accurately track attendance and payment.

For any issues, please contact Catherine Sharbaugh ([email protected]) or Kathy Cartelli ([email protected]).

We will be meeting virtually for our book group at 11 AM on Weds. Currently we are on hiatus until Sept 28. If you would like to be part of this group, please contact the office and we will add you to the group. Newcomers are welcome.

Noonday Prayer follows the Book Group Meeting.

St. Andrew’s volunteers staff a Food Bank for approximately 85 residents at this apartment complex for low income seniors and disabled adults. We receive food donated by local grocers, unpack it and organize it on tables for the residents to “shop” for their groceries. We have a group of loyal volunteers and we can always use more help. If you can help we’d love to have you join us. We meet every other Monday at 10:30 am. with the exception of federal holidays. It takes about 2 hours. Contact Catherine Sharbaugh for more information.

Thank you to all who filled in for those of us who traveled to the Holy Land during September.

Upcoming Food Bank dates are October 3, 17, and 31.

We can always use cardboard egg cartons and small plastic containers (like the ones raspberries come in).  Please bring what you can to the church.
