New & Important Reminders
 
We Need you! We Need 100 people to make the night a success! We are far from that goal so get your team of 4-6 people organized today! (Single entries are welcome and encouraged—we will add you to another team.) Prizes! Food! Fun! Camaraderie! All this for just $20 per person! Wine and beer available to purchase for $5. Tickets are available for purchase from the church office or on Sunday mornings in the Narthex. Enjoy a night out with friends on a cold winter evening.

Annual Report


2018 Annual Reports are ready! The annual report is available for your reading as of today. Pick up a hard-copy in the narthex or view it on our website. The Annual General Meeting & Luncheon is scheduled for Sunday, February 24, 2019 following the worship service.

ABC Valentine Bake Sale

The ABC Valentine Bake Sale will be held on February 10, 2019 in the auditorium after the church service. We usually sell all we can bake! So please consider providing Valentine-themed and other baking for the sale. Perfect activity on these cold winter days! Sunday, February 10 is also a soup and sandwich Sunday, so we should have a good crowd to please. All baking can be brought to the auditorium before the service where it will be priced and displayed. Thank you for your support!

Outreach

This upcoming Sunday, January 27 is "Spare Change Sunday." We are collecting for 1JustCity-Oak Table, so they can purchase new  underwear for people who are in need.  If you have some spare change, drop it in the plate at the back of the sanctuary.

Our next outreach project is for February and March. We will be collecting new and/or slightly used backpacks. Bring them into St. Andrew's and we will ensure 1JustCIty-Oak Table receives them.
