March Madness 2023: Compassion Edition—Join Our Food Drive

It is that time of year again! The NCAA championship has begun. Instead of filling out a bracket, vote for the conference that will win the National Championship and love your neighbor at the same time by participating in our Lenten food drive.

Bring non-perishable food items to the Parish Hall, and put them in the box marked with the conference of your choice. The food will be delivered to One Step Further food pantry, one of our partners in ministry. Let’s show compassion for those who are hungry and see if St. Andrew’s can pick this year’s winner.

We Did It! Coins of Compassion Has Surpassed Our Goal

Thank you to all who have donated change and bills to our EYC’s coin drive to pay off Lindley Elementary School’s student lunch debt. Thanks to your generosity, the youth have collected over $778, surpassing their goal of $750, which was the amount of the lunch debt when the drive began.

Although the youth will not continue collecting coins on Sunday mornings, donations still will be accepted and will be applied to the debt, which has increased and will accrue through the school year. Please contact Martha Chaires or bring your donation to church on Sundays or during office hours, Tuesday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

An Invitation to Attend Cursillo—April 20–23

Camp Walter Johnson in Denton, NC

The word Cursillo means “a short course.” It is a spiritual renewal ministry in the Episcopal Church that presents a short course to help men and women understand their calling to grow deeper in their relationship with God, and it supports an ongoing development of Christian leadership. During the weekend, participants experience community as they pray, sing, and learn how the community of faith experiences God’s love. To learn more about how you can be a participant, don’t hesitate to contact Deacon Pam or NorthCarolinaCursillo@gmail.com. Click below for the application and to see a video message from Bishop Curry about the value of Cursillo. Scholarships are available.

Each Sunday we worship in person and online. We are always glad when you worship with us. Nursery care is available during worship, and we offer children’s ministry time as well as activity bags to keep little hearts and hands engaged.

Called to Compassion Class

Sundays in Lent at 11:15 a.m. (The Cloister)

This Lent, we are considering together our call to compassion as a critical part of the Christian life. Compassion literally means “to suffer with.” Human history and our own experience make clear that compassion is not our natural state of being, but a choice about how to live in and engage the world. This class is designed to help us grow in compassion as individuals and a community that follows Christ. We have an excellent teaching team and will meet in the Cloister at 11:15 a.m. on Sundays. The Rev. John de Beer will lead our March 19 class, focusing on self-compassion in the midst of turmoil.

Come to Wholehearted Parenting Class this Sunday

Sundays in Lent, 11:15 a.m.

Herman Hall

Childcare Provided

If you cannot attend all classes, please attend on the Sundays you can. We will have handouts from previous classes available each week. 

How do we grow healthy, resilient children and youth who seek and serve Christ in all persons, who love their neighbors, who strive for justice and peace, and who respect the dignity of others? Our Wholehearted Parenting class explores the research of Dr. Brené Brown on vulnerability and authenticity, integrating science and spirituality into positive parenting practices. The offering includes time for shared reflection and conversation and is a great forum for meeting other St. Andrew’s parents. We will gather right after worship, and childcare is provided.
