Vegetable Garden Helpers

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, our Sunday school class and youth group finally got favorable weather to clean up the Community Garden beds for the winter. Under the guidance of Jeff Herrera, from the Outreach committee, we cleared out the beds, put away the supports, and made sure the beds are resting for the coming winter. Jeff also planted garlic in the first few beds; please keep an eye out throughout the winter and early spring as it grows. Be sure to save the date for Sunday, March 14, 2027, for our annual spring planting for kids of all ages.

Fall Youth Bonfire

A warm fire, tasty hot dogs and s’mores, and lots of outdoor fun, was had by our St Andrew’s families on October 18, 2026. Thank you to everyone who was able to donate supplies to make this night so much fun and for all the families that joined us.

Youth Group

All sixth through twelfth graders are invited to join us for youth group throughout the month of November as we prepare for the Advent season. In November, we will begin by meeting on November 8th to make cookies together in the kitchen. We will be using our leftover chocolate from our fall youth bonfire to make tasty treats. These cookies will then be frozen and baked together on December 6th for our annual tree trimming coffee hour. On November 22 we will meet in the Youth room to discuss anxiety with our “All the Feels” unit. We look forward to you joining us for all our youth discussions and fellowship events. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kristy Campagna at Kristy@StAndrewsChesCo.org.

Sunday School

Sunday school classes are every Sunday in November except for November 29th. We will begin our Advent lessons on November 15th through the month of December. These lessons will focus on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Come join the story as we look through the darker times for the light of baby Jesus.

Be sure to keep on the lookout for sign-ups for our Annual Christmas Pageant that will be held on Sunday, December 20th during the 10:00 am service.
