News and Announcements

Easter blessings to all! We had a wonderful celebration at St. Andrew's. It was such a pleasure to see so many people we have missed over the past year. We had 30 people and 11 musicians, and the sun made its appearance at 9:30 which was truly appreciated. Thank you to Chris Benson for another wonderful sermon. Chris Telleen brought beautiful flowers and Linda Underwood, the Bell Choir, and the Brass Act provided us with great music. If you were not able to attend, please watch the recording. Just click on the link below.
This Sunday we will have a special service from the ELCA Sierra Pacific Synod. More information on how to watch will come in the Saturday reminder.
On April 16th, we welcome Pastor Dawn Roginsky as our interim Pastor. She will be living in the house next door. She will have a ¾ time position and will work out her schedule as she gets to know us and learn what we need. Below is an article from the synod about intentional interim Pastors for congregations in transition.
We have three copies of Christ in Our Home, the April-June issue, at the office. If you would like to receive a copy, please contact Marjorie at the church office.
The S.F. Night Ministry is looking for an Associate Minister particularly from a diverse faith tradition. Do you feel called to comfort and heal the homeless and troubled? Do you know someone who might? Please feel free to respond to Rev. Valerie McEntee at valerie@sfnightministry.org and/or pass this onto others.

With love,

Kristi
