Dear Members of St. Andrew’s,
Thank you all for the wonderful good-bye brunch. Your thoughtfulness knows no bounds! Your gifts were very generous and more ‘than I could ask or imagine’.
Thank you to all who cooked and baked, thank you (again and again!) to the ‘kitchen crew’, thank you to Sean and choir members for the very special music, thank you to Sunday school kids & teachers, thank you to the prayer shawl group, thank you to the altar guild, thank you for the photos, thank you to all who helped organize and set-up – a thousand and one thank-you’s!
Most meaningful to me are all of your kind, encouraging words and all of your love and support – on Sunday and over the past year and a half. I will keep you in my prayers and in my heart.
Yours in Christ, Jan Walden

Fall into Fun!
Paint & Potluck Night
Saturday, October 20th at 5:00 pm
Once again, we will be welcoming our friends from Friendship Home for an evening of painting, feasting and fun! This gorgeous fall forest painting is the masterpiece we will be creating!
Plan to sign up ASAP as this event fills up quickly. The cost for parishioners and their guests will be $15.00 each. As always, everyone who attends is asked to bring a potluck dish to share for a buffet for all to enjoy. The food is always delicious and everyone has a wonderful time painting their own masterpieces!
