Campus Beautification Project
One of the ways we welcome people to St. Andrew's is with a beautiful campus! This Easter we want to work hard to beautify our campus with trees, shrubs, bushes and flowers. And you can help!
We are raising funds for this project:
-
$750 will purchase a good-sized red maple, installation, irrigation, and plaque with your dedication. We will be planting 7 new trees on campus.
Trees are sold out!
- $250 will go toward a shrub or bush and memorial walkway stone with your dedication.
- $100 can be used toward flowers and a brass leaf in the Narthex with your name.
Each of these items is limited (especially the trees), so donate today! You can drop a check in the plate with "Campus Beauty" in the detail line or contact the church office. We'll be collecting through the end of April.

Would you like to be trained to be a Eucharistic Visitor? Diocesan training scheduled for April 27th in order to restart this valuable ministry! Please let Kathleen know if you are interested.

St. Andrew's at the ECW/DOK Retreat
Seven of our St Andrew’s ladies (six Daughters of the King®️) attended the ECW/Daughters retreat at Camp Weed. It was a spirit filled fun weekend led by our retreat speaker, The Reverend Joe Gibbes from Church of Our Saviour, Mandarin, discussing A Quiet Soul in a Noisy World based largely on the book “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” by John Mark Comer.
What a great time for fellowship and learning. It was co-hosted by Heather Prox, ECW President and our own Julie Dulaney, Diocesan Assembly President of the Daughters of the King®️. You won’t believe it but Betty Pettigrew played a very pregnant Sarah in the women of the Bible presentation that the Daughters presented. Hope all the women of our church can attend next years retreat when scheduled.

JU Volunteers on Campus
Every year, Jacksonville University celebrates its birthday and the signing of its charter. In honor of their founding, the University hosts Charter Day, involving service to the community, celebratory activities, and a champagne toast.
