Be sure to stop by the parish hall this Sunday and enjoy this month's parish breakfast! There is no cost, but collected donations go to funding our Saturday morning breakfasts for the hungry.

Needing a space for quiet encounter with the divine? Join the contemplative prayer group on second Thursdays. No prior experience needed – just bring yourself!

Thanks to a generous donor, we'll enjoy a live band, taco treats, a bouncy house, cake and more! All are welcome as we mark the 10-year anniversary of St. Andrew’s shared ministry with Mother Brenda. If you'd like to make a contribution to the artwork we've purchased, as a small token of our gratitude, click here and choose "Shared Ministry Gift" (any funds collected in excess of the gift's cost will benefit our Pastoral Needs Fund).

The next opportunity for Holy Baptism will be June 9, with a required prep class via Zoom on June 1 from 11:15am-12:15pm. If you or someone you know is ready for Baptism (all ages welcome!), please email Mother Brenda as soon as possible.

St. Andrews’ Holy Troublemakers are working to provide lunches to migrants in need. Click here to see how you can help!

To better represent our intention and our programming foci, your Vestry recently augmented our mission statement with the following (additions shown in red): Because hunger comes in many forms, we reveal God’s love by nourishing the community through acceptance, worship, learning, and service.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In anticipation of Ascension Day next Thursday, our Godly Play class will experience the Ascension story (bubbles may be involved as we explore this Mystery). Our Holy Troublemakers are writing supply lists and checking them twice as we move closer to our sandwich making project on June 1st. Don't miss next week when we celebrate Mother's Day with the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus in our Godly Play class, while our Holy Troublemakers continue working on their Holy Subs Project.
