Outreach at St. Andrew's

St Andrews serves the community in many different ways. We are still collecting jars of peanut butter and cash donations for the Amazing Grace Food Pantry that serves Middletown. We collect all types of items for the North Branford/Northford Food Pantry as well as support their Community Dinners.

Holiday Baket Share for Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner.

Twice a year the cluster serves a meal at St. Vincent de Paul.

Ice Cream Socials

Thank you to everyone who donated, scooped or ate ice cream. We made around $350.00 on events that where considered 'Fun'raiser. What a fn summer tradition we started!!!!

Stewardship Campaign

During the month of November Peter Floyd will be serving with us and we will use that time to start off our Stewardship Campaign. Peter will help us consider our gifts and giving during this time.

Ways to Help Out at St. Andrews

We have many 'job openings' right now. Remember any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Toni Foucaud is always looking for more people to be Greeters, Readers, Chalice Bearers, and Altar Guild members.

Church School

Some changes have come up in the church school this year. Grace Krom will not be able to lead our Sunday School anymore. Leslie Williams will take over with the hope that she will be able to find some help within the paris. Church school will start in October with the preparations for the Blessing of the Animals and a lesson St. Francis of Assisi who brough us the tradition of the Nativity.

Note from the Senior Warden

Fall is here again as we prepare to get things rolling again at St. Andrew's. Attendance has been low the last few weeks of summer, but I am hoping the cooler weather will bring more folks back. Our Blessing of the Animals is always a popular event and fun to see all the animals and children running around. The children are running, not the animals!! Let's hope we can all keep up!!
