Ministry Activities
Women of St. Andrew's
We meet monthly, typically on the second Monday of the month, at 9am, to discuss ways we can support the work of the church and congregation. Our next meeting is February 14th at the home of Anita Smith, and we'll be making care packages to send to the college students in our congregation.
4 Paws Pet Pantry
We distribute dog and cat food once each month, on the third Wednesday of the month, from 3:30pm to 5:30 pm. Distribution takes place at the 5th Street entrance to the parish hall. Volunteers to help bag the food are always welcome! Our next distribution date is February 16th.
If you can help stock our Pet Pantry with dog and cat food, or provide gallon-size baggies, we would be grateful! You may drop off food (and baggies) at the church office, but please be sure to let us know you are coming so someone will be here to receive it. You can also order food directly from Chewy.com, at www.chewy.com, or make a monetary donation with an indication that it is for Pet Pantry.
Andy's Place
On the last Saturday of each month, Andy's Place provides a warm breakfast. In the present time, breakfast burritos are being offered from the courtyard to allow for social distancing. Our next breakfast is February 26th, beginning at 7:30am.
Andy's Place can always use financial support to help with food costs, and we also try to maintain a supply of toiletry items to distribute. Donations of tooth brushes & small tooth paste, small deodorant, razors, toilet paper, small shampoo & conditioner, soaps, tissue, and socks for men & women are most needed. Items can be dropped off at the church office or in the basket in the Narthex on Sunday mornings.
At this time of year in particular, we like to keep some gloves, hats, and warm coats available as well. Blankets, sleeping bags, and even tents are also welcome!
Starting Line
Starting Line helps provide business attire for those seeking jobs. It is now affiliated with the Assistance League. Donations of clothing can be made at the Assistance League shop, 100 N. Union. Be sure to tell them it is for Starting Line. Please contact Pat Walker if you want to know more about this ministry or would like to help.
Needle Arts
Our Needle Arts group meets the third Monday of each month at 10am. We make receiving blankets and knitted caps for newborns, which are taken to the local hospitals each month. We also make prayer shawls and prayer blankets when requested. We would love to have you join us! Our next meeting is coming up on February 21st. If you can't join in but want to help support Needle Arts, please consider making a donation to our ministry.
