The 10-year anniversary of St. Andrew’s shared ministry with Mother Brenda is coming up, and we will celebrate with all things party for the whole family! There will be a bounce house, a live band, a taco truck, cake and more. All are welcome as we mark this milestone in the life of our community.

We want to be sure everyone is listed in our birthday prayers, as well as informed about parish activities. Please complete this form (or call the office: (760) 753-3017) to share your household's info (addresses will only be listed in the directory with your permission). And if you'd like a membership directory, request one from the office.

This year’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) will be all about SCUBA: Diving into Friendship with God. We are looking for attendees and volunteers who want to help make VBS a spectacular week of growing in joy (June 24-28, 9am-12pm). Attendance is open to kids ages 4 through 6th grade. Volunteers entering 7th grade through adulthood are needed. Click here to register or volunteer.

From 10:30am – closing, Crack Shack Encinitas will donate 15% of your meal tab to the youth’s summer service trip.  Share the flyer (available here) with neighbors! Be sure to mention St Andrew’s when you order or use the flyer code to order online. The youth hope to see you there!

Order a beverage and gather with Matt Bosse, our “People’s Warden”, and other parishioners for a time of fellowship and conversation about your hopes, dreams, and concerns regarding St. Andrew’s.

While there won't be a formal program, you are invited to use our labyrinth to “Walk as One at 1”. This serves the purpose of creating a rolling wave of peace and energy passing around the globe, from one time zone to the next. Learn more about World Labyrinth Day here.

St. Andrew's Faith in Action (FiA) Ministry has been hard at work this past month! Members of the FiA Affordable Housing Committee have spoken with local non-profit leaders, city council members, and the mayor to advocate for affordable housing in Encinitas (read the full committee report here). More opportunities for advocacy are coming up - email Mother Dawn to learn how to get involved!

As an active member of Encinitas Coastal Rotary (ECR), Mother Brenda is grateful that her club has been extremely generous to Saturday Breakfast, held clothing drives for Showers, and collected toys for Food Pantry’s Christmas. So, she’s excited to invite you to join her at ECR’s annual fundraiser (or to buy balls for a chance to win big!), which supports other local non-profits. In addition to a helicopter dropping golf balls, the event includes live music, food, and a silent auction. For more information, or to buy tickets click here.

Brian Doyle’s book, “Grace Notes,” is an eclectic and compelling collection of stories about discovering the incarnated Spirit of God every time one turns around, often in the most unlikely of people, places, and things. Get the book and join the discussion. For more information, click here.

This week the Godly Play class wonders about the connection between the synagogue and the upper room, and our Holy Troublemakers will be writing a skit and developing their communication plan for their Holy Subs project that is now active! Don't miss next week when the Godly Play class experiences the Ascension story and our Holy Troublemakers refine their skit. For more information about Children and Families Ministry click here.
