Receiving the Christmas Spirit through A Service of Lessons and Carols Christmastime leads us to reflect on the nature of childhood like no other season. It’s the nostalgia that comes with Christmas: the comfort, the security, the warmth. The glow of candles lighting homes, shielding against the cold of the December world. If we are still children, this hits our open hearts immediately, and if we are not, the sight of the grand tree that used to seem so tall– now level with o

“Seasonal Changes” One of the sure signs of autumn is the relentless release of leaves from our trees, blanketing our walkways, parking lot, and play areas. Equally sure a sing of the season is the collection of Boy Scouts who come out to remove those leaves! Again, the Troop rose to the occasion and moved dozens of tarps filled with leaves from around the property. I’ll take this moment in The Piper to formally express the gratitude of the entire congregation and leadership

Hello St. Andrew’s! Thank you for taking the time to read through our monthly newsletter. We have a lot to share from several of our areas of ministry you won’t want to miss. As we approach the holidays, often people from the community are looking for a church to attend for some of the special services held throughout the end of the year. Many searches begin with Google to see what is close by and the online reviews. We have some great reviews on Google, but it’s helpful to h

Hallo! Willkommen to our journey to Germany and the celebration of Oktoberfest! We transformed our Upper Hall to an Oktoberfest tent to join our hearts, minds, and voices in Fellowship on October 18th. A joyous time was had by all as we were serenaded by a strolling accordion player and feasted on German food. The Flying Deutschman food truck set-up in our parking lot so that revelers could order variations of schnitzel and bratwurst along with delicious side dishes of German

It also conjures up images of youngsters collecting candy and donations of coins with the greeting “Trick or Treat for UNICEF.” Our annual Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF coffee hour was held on Sunday, October 26th. Good Samaritan Services/Bridge of Hope : St. Andr

“Back to Normal” For all who read my report in September you will recall that there was very little to report. Well, all that has changed. Since that report we have signed a new exterminator service and we have replaced our HVAC contractor. These new contractors are scheduled to start their work on our property before the month is over. We changed the way our trash is stored and the frequency with which it is collected, while saving money in the process. We worked to try to s
