Family Ministries

Tree Trimming Coffee Hour

It’s that time of year again. The Christmas tree, generously donated by Lee and Barb Johnson, is up and ready for decorating. Please join us on Sunday, December 7th, after the 10 am service for fellowship, cocoa, cookies, and ornament crafting. Please click here to sign up to bring a couple of dozen cookies to share with everyone.

Sign up for the Annual Christmas Pageant

The annual St Andrew’s Christmas pageant will be held during the 10 am service on Sunday, December 21st. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy this tradition. Bring your friends and family as the youth retell the story of Jesus’s birth. Please click here to sign up to participate in the pageant. All ages are welcome.

Sunday School

We have begun our Advent lessons in Sunday school. Join us at 10 am in the Lower Hall for our last two Advent lessons on Sunday, December 7th & 14th. On Sunday, December 21st, the children will be in the service for our annual Christmas pageant.

Please see the link above to have your child join us. We will welcome everyone back to weekly Sunday school on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at 10 am. This will be a large group lesson where we will be doing an Epiphany skit.

Youth Group

Our first few youth group discussions and activities have been great. The youth group is for our older youth, from 6th grade up to 12th grade. We have discussion groups where we talk about our faith and just relax. We also have fellowship/ service meetings where we get together and enjoy each other’s company while doing good for others or just having

fun. We hope you can join us. Feel free to come as often or as little as your

schedule will allow. Questions can be directed to Kristy Campagna at

kristy@standrewschesco.org.

Sunday, December 7: meeting in the kitchen

Sunday, December 14: meeting in the Werner room

Advent Wreath Lighting

Our older youth from sixth grade through college age are invited to sign up to light the Advent wreath during our 10 am service throughout the season of Advent. Please click here to help brighten the season.

Busy Bins

A reminder this Advent, we love the sound of your family in our pews here at St Andrew’s, it’s a joyful noise, so please join us. Feel free to help yourself to our Advent books in the glass hallway and the basket in the Narthex, which is updated weekly with new activity pages. If your little ones need to run around during our service, no problem. Our glass hallway provides speakers so you can hear the service, and your little one can run and play. We can’t wait to see you here.
