Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School was a huge success!! We averaged about 40 children attending each day and St. Andrew's is so thankful for all the volunteers, the decorators, the supply drive donations, and the many, many people it takes to make a great ministry like this thrive. Thank you to all who make this possible every year!
Interim Rector

Fr Gordon Scheible attended a meet and greet breakfast on July 24 to meet the community. The event, "Pancakes with Padre," was a great success and we appreciate all who attended and made it happen! For future reference, Fr Gordon is in the church office on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Service Spotlight

The church office is in need of any unused sympathy cards you can can donate! We use them whenever they are needed to reach out to our parishioners who are unable to attend campus services. Anything along the lines of "thinking of you" or "get well soon" would be excellent! They can be dropped off at the Parish Office during office hours.
