A Heartfelt Farewell to Sarah
Sunday, November 22nd
Please join us in expressing our heartfelt gratitude to our wonderful pianist, Sarah, whose last Sunday with us will be November 22nd.
We are truly grateful for the time, talent and beautiful music she has shared with our St. Andrew's family. Her musical gifts have been a meaningful part of our worship services, and she will be missed!
| Thank you to Blair Fadem and Timi Shields for attending the 56th Annual EDSD Convention this past weekend, November 6-7 at St. Bartholomew's, Poway! In addition to the usual work of convention, Bishop Susan and attendees reflected on the 2026 designation, Evangelism, and looked forward to the 2027 designation, Service. Additionally, member Rev. Canon Jeff Martinhauk received The Bishop's Cross Award in recognition of his exemplary service, faith, and leadership in the diocese. Congratulations, Canon Jeff! As he prepares to retire from his work as CFO at the diocese in February, please keep him in your prayers. | Thank you to all our very special acolytes who assist every week in our service! Please let Father Roberto know if you'd like to learn about serving as an acolyte! | |

Supporting Hunger Suppers
Our weekly meal program is consistently serving over 100 people each week! The operational budget for the Hunger Supper ministry is in need of donations to support this increase of nearly double the numbers of guests we were used to seeing. We are also in need of volunteers to step up as team leads, who plan the meal, shop for the ingredients, and prepare it. Food Handler's certificates are required, and our Volunteer Coordinator, Auburn, is able to provide this training. If you would like to serve as a regular or substitute team lead, please contact Auburn at volunteer@standrewspb.org. If you would like to donate to our Hunger Supper ministry fund, please use the button below and select "Hunger Supper Support" from the drop down menu. Thank you!

Episcopal Diocese of San Diego: Generative AI Resolution
At the 53rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, Resolution 26-02 was introduced to establish a diocesan-level policy on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in church life and ministry.
The resolution calls for thoughtful consideration of how AI aligns with our Christian values, particularly in areas such as pastoral care, sermon preparation, privacy, and transparency. It also proposes forming a committee of clergy and lay members to develop guidelines for responsible AI use.
We encourage parishioners to learn more about this important conversation and how emerging technology may shape the future of our church.

Support the Saturday Meal Service
Every Saturday morning, Jodie and her team of volunteers set up their folding tables in front of St. Andrew's and feed anyone who is hungry. This past Saturday, they fed 80 people a hearty breakfast.

"We deeply appreciate your generosity in allowing us to use your church lawn as a space to feed our guests. Your support truly helps us in our mission to serve those in need. We are dedicated to making a significant impact on the lives of our neighbors facing adversity and food insecurity. We believe a meal made with love is a tangible way to show compassion and understanding. If you’re able, please consider making a donation to help us continue feeding our neighbors in
need. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to making a lasting impact.
From our bustling kitchen, Chef Jodie"
