, we will be kicking off our annual giving campaign: "Living Generously". Matt & Laura Moreau having graciously stepped forward to serve as our Stewardship Chairs this year.
Over the next few weeks, we will journey together in exploring how the practice of intentional giving deepens our walk with Christ and supports life-giving ministries to our community and beyond.
Be on the lookout for a letter from the Stewardship Team and a pledge card arriving in mail. Each week we will share with you reflections of how intentional giving can impact your life and that of St. Andrew's. If you have questions, please contact the office at
office@standrewshanover.org.

ONGOING WAYS YOU CAN BE A PART OF ST. ANDREWS:
Being a part of a Church Family means there is always room to be involved and lend a hand. Here are some ways you can lend your time or talent to St. Andrew's this fall:
ADULT CHOIR: The Adult Choir is still looking for new members to join this year. No experience necessary! We have some special anthems we would like to sing this fall, but need a few more voices to fill out the sections. Our next rehearsal will be on Thursday, October 20th at 7:00 PM. Come and sing a spell!
ACOLYTES: Anyone in grade 2 and up (YES! this includes ADULTS!)
can
serve as an Acolyte. If you or your child would like to serve as an Acolyte, please call or email Carole in the office to see what dates are available. Remember, children who serve as Acolytes also attend Church School, so they won't miss out on the Arts & Faith fun!
COFFEE HOUR FELLOWSHIP: A cookie, a cup of coffee, and a smile can go a long way!
The coffee will already be on, so the hard part is done! Grab a friend or two and help keep this special time of fellowship going.
If you are interested in hosting an upcoming Coffee Hour, please call or email Carole in the office for available dates.
