What's Happening at St. Andrew

Monday, June 30, 2025

Join this Wednesday, July 2, at 4 p.m. as Rev. Diane Pennington from Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services shares the inspiring work of their ministry. Everyone in the congregation is invited to attend! A Community and Presbyterian Ministry Group meeting will follow the presentation.

While our kitchen undergoes a remodel, WNL will continue at local restaurants. Join us every Wednesday at 6:00 PM for dinner and fellowship—no reservations needed. This Wednesday, July 2, we will meet at Fisherman's Market. 

Join us for an afternoon at the Texas Shakespeare Festival! This Sunday, July 6, we’ll attend Steel Magnolias at a 2:00 p.m. matinee performance. After the show, we’ll enjoy dinner together at The Back Porch. Please order your tickets as soon as possible, as matinee performances sell out quickly.

We are grateful to everyone who contributed to our book drive, which helped augment the bookshelves at local retirement centers and nursing homes. Thanks to your generosity, Rose Briggs and Sondra Allen delivered an impressive 165 books to these communities last week!

FEED OUR FIREFIGHTERS

Join us in supporting Station 6 firefighters on McCann Road! The Unity Committee is launching a monthly food delivery program, coordinated by Rose Briggs and Katy Manck. We’ll provide meals for three 7-person crews, delivering food every other day during one week each month. In June, Rose will bring breakfast casseroles, and in July, the Mancks will deliver blackberry cobblers. Want to help? Contact Rose or Katy to sign up. Disposable pans will include tags thanking the firefighters from St. Andrew and CUMC and inviting them to our online services.

Our church kitchen remodel is underway, creating a space to enrich our fellowship through ministries like Wednesday Night Live and special events. Support the project through our Amazon Registry. Items purchased through the link ship directly to the church. Amazon Registry Link

JAM NOTES

Katy Manck made blackberry and blueberry jams with Pomona's pectin, which needs just 1 cup of sugar for 4 cups of fruit (other pectin requires 4+ cups of sugar & 4 cups of fruit to jell).

- The flat lids are heat-sealed; metal rings protect your fingers. Loosen rings for pantry storage, up to 1 year.

- After opening, replace the metal lid & ring with the plastic lid, store in the refrigerator, and use within 1 month (not 3) due to their higher ratio of fruit to sugar. Katy has updated labels for jars you have in your pantry.

- Return jars and rings to Katy or anyone who cans. Flat lids are recyclable steel.

If you missed out on either kind of jam, need a reusable plastic lid, or want to take jam to homebound individuals, ask Katy.

Alcoholics Anonymous meets at the church from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For further information, please call (903)235-7890.
