12th Night Revue Postponed to Mardi Gras:
Get excited to celebrate with food and fun closer to Mardi Gras! Grant decided to postpone our annual potluck and revue due to his illness, so there's a bit more breathing room to plan and prepare. More details forthcoming, and if your upper elementary, middle school, or high schooler is interested in participating, that's great! Let Grant know so he can be sure to keep you in the loop.
Joining Jesus –
After much discernment, the St. Andrew’s vestry, with input from members of the Endowment, Visioning and Stewardship Committees, has decided the time is right for St. Andrew’s to participate in the Episcopal Church in Connecticut’s
Joining Jesus
initiative designed to help churches develop financial resources. We are one of fourteen churches participating. Following the recent work done by the Visioning committee, this campaign will allow us to continue to embrace God’s mission here at St. Andrew’s more fully, with the help of professional counsel provided by the Episcopal Church in Connecticut. This is an effort in which everyone will be invited to participate in a way that makes sense to them.
Mark your calendars for our

STOP and SHOP CARDS.
The purchase of Stop & Shop cards provides an additional opportunity, over and above our pledging, to help support St. Andrew's while you buy your groceries. 5% of all card purchases go directly to St. Andrew's when paid for with cash or a personal check. Buy Stop & Shop cards after each service or during the week in the church office. We do accept Visa, Master Card and Discover but then we only net about 2 1/2% for St. Andrew's.
