Join us on August 15 to celebrate the beginning of a new church year! We'll start off with a Pancake & Sausage Breakfast at 9am. Then as you make your way to the sanctuary you can take fun pictures at the photo booth. Next, all children, youth, teachers, and school administrators are invited to bring your backpack to worship for a special blessing and time of prayer for the new year.

Choir Rehearsals will begin Sunday, August 1 after the worship service. There is excitement in the air as we start the season with our new Director of Music, Thomas Furlow, and Rachel Clark as our new Accompanist/Pianist. If you would like to rejoin the choir or start for the first time, please come join the fun at rehearsals.

Kindness Kits will be assembled on August 10 at 10am in the Parlor. Please come help us make these kits to show kindness to the less fortunate.

Presbyterian Women of St. Andrew’s are hosting an in-person opportunity to watch the Churchwide Gathering Online on August 5 from 3:00 to 5:00pm in the Parlor. ALL church members are invited and refreshments will be served.

All volunteers working with our children and youth are invited for lunch on Sunday, August 8 following worship to complete the required safe church training. During this training we will review best practices for ensuring the safety of our young people and update required background checks. We will also introduce you to the new curriculum being used in our children and youth programs. Please RSVP to the church office by August 2.

All Volunteers with our children and youth MUST complete this training!

 At this time, the Session believes a gradual relaxing of our COVID restrictions is the best approach to assuring everyone’s continued well-being. To that end, face masks are now optional, but all other COVID protocols remain in effect.

We support you as you make the best decision for you and your family.

Our day school is now enrolling. This is a wonderful pre-school with loving teachers.
