What's Happening at St. Andrew

Monday, April 29, 2024

 A big thank you goes out to Lynn and Katy Manck for repairing the Free Little Library. They replaced the post, and the books are back in their rightful place. They also established it in a more accessible location. Thank you for your willingness, time, and hard work!

We had two days of power washing at the church. Jimmy Howell, Erik Sandvik, Allan Peters, and Joyce Sandvik cleaned the front portico, sidewalks leading to the parking area, fellowship hall, the back walkway, and the sidewalk near the community garden. The concrete was gray-black, and now it sparkles in the sunlight. Thank you for all your work getting equipment there and tag-teaming with the work load. 

Grace Presbytery meeting will be held in Denton on May 4th at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church.

Session has approved the sanctuary and chapel for locations for gathering

Discernment Prayer Groups.

*Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in the sanctuary

*Monday - Thursday, 9:00 am-1:00 pm and Sunday 9:30 am in the sanctuary

*Friday - Saturday, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm at the Chapel.

Prayer guides will be available to help you with praying for the future direction of the church, as well as other prayer needs.

Your eclipse glasses can help others view safely! Please drop off eclipse glasses in the Narthex or Fellowship Hall by May 15, when Katy Manck will mail them to AstronomersWithoutBorders.org, which will safety-test & distribute glasses to school groups, including those in South America where an annular eclipse will be visible this fall. Ask your neighbors, school & others - the more glasses that we can keep out of landfill, the better!
