Upcoming Events at St. Andrew’s (Parish Long Range Calendar - just click here)

Foyer Groups: Are organizing again at St. Andrew's for this Winter/Spring! This is a great way to meet new people and a way to stay connected with old friends. Groups of 8-10 parish members get together for dinner, typically once a month for a casual time of fellowship and fun! Please sign up as soon as possible to be a part of this delightful program. Also, let us know if you would be willing to be a "convener" for your Foyer Group (that just means you'd be the point of contact). Sign up sheet is in White Hall. We hope to have groups assigned and dinners beginning in February. Any questions, please contact the office at 622-5530 or Carole Duckett at kwackett@aol.com.

The Annual Luncheon Tea (brought to you by the Women of St. Andrew's Church) will be held on Saturday, March 27 from noon until 2:00 p.m. This is a family event, so mark your calendars now. Right now we are looking for volunteers to be on the planning and set-up committee. We would like to have the planning meeting mid-February. Sign-up sheets may be found in White Hall. Please join us by sharing your creative ideas and a little of your time and make this one of our most successful teas ever.

Special Coffee Hour: The Vestry is delighted to announce that the Stewardship Campaign reached and exceeded its goal of $300,000! Please join us to celebrate at a special coffee hour on Sunday, February 7, following the 10:15 service.
