HERE IS THE NEWS WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR!!!

On Monday night, St. Andrew’s Session and Search Team unanimously voted to ask someone to preach for the call here at St. Andrew’s on Sunday, DECEMBER 3rd at 10:00 am.  Following worship, we will have a congregational meeting to discuss the call.
Mark your calendars, and watch for more information in the days ahead.  We will be sharing the name of the candidate at the end of November, and sending out information for you to
read.  But for now… MARK THOSE CALENDARS!!  
We NEED a full house Dec 3rd!

Rev. Fiona Swanson

Not just Boy Scouts need to be prepared, but so too the church and the children of God.   They used to teach about duck and cover in school and today they "Shelter in Place".  Neither of these are my experience in school.  But is it really about being ready or remembering or is it how we respond?

Sunday we proved that apparently the way to a Presbyterian’s heart is partly through cookies.  Thanks to your generous hearts, the church school children raised $495.
