Breakfast Ministry Every Saturday morning a group of
volunteers from three Catholic parishes are feeding breakfast in our parking
lot to about 150 of our homeless/jobless neighbors. If you would like to help
in the endeavor, you may donate boxes of cereal, peanut butter snacks or Kudo's energy bars. Please see Jim Morgan with your
donation, and he will get them to the folks providing this wonderful
ministry. When the temps go down, demand for warm
clothing goes up, and this is the time of year when we need your donations
the most! Sweaters, blankets, sweatshirts and jackets; pillows, sheets,
pillowcases; gloves or mittens, scarves, warm hats; socks and shoes. Please
place your donations in the blue bins in the hallway off the Parish Hall. We
will sort and distribute them during our feeding ministries. |

Check out the beautiful new stained glass window in the
Children's Chapel, Daniel in the Lions' Den. This window was made possible by the kindness and
generosity of Ted, Robin, and John DeLaVergne,
along with Richard, Ginger, Catie, and McKinley
Chapman. The window is given in loving memory of Daniel DeLaVergne. There are spaces
for nine more stained glass windows. If you are interested in making a
lasting contribution to St. Andrew's by illustrating Bible stories to our
children via a stained glass window, please contact the Rector. (photo courtesy

Attention
shoppers!
The Outreach
Committee is seeking a consignment shop that will accept the
"finer" clothing donations we receive from our generous
parishioners. The idea is to open a St. Andrew's account, deliver our better
goods, and use whatever funds are generated for other Outreach projects, like
the KleanKits we prepare every fall. If you would be interested in finding a store or
delivering clothes, please call Kathy in the church office:
221-2035. Thanks!

BLANKETS,
TOILETRIES, CLOTHING, SOCKS AND GLOVES ARE NEEDED! If you will pack up
all (clean) clothing, socks, toiletries or blankets and deliver them to the
Parish Hall in the empty hallway off the walkway, Kathy will gladly
distribute them at the Saturday morning feed. Thank you; I wish you could see
the smiles these gifts bring!
