- Ushers & Nursery Help Needed
Both our Usher and Nursery Teams are in need of additional team members. These are both areas of service that require no weekly preparation, but a willingness to serve on a rotating schedule and a desire to share God’s love with people of all ages. Please consider joining them. Call Martin Anderson at 502-330-1972 to join the Usher Team. Speak to Jan Bowen in the Nursery about joining the Nursery Team.

Jan Bowen, our Nursery worker, wants to thank each person on the Nursery Roster for their care and love of our little ones! In order to round out the Roster just a bit, we are in need of a few more helpers at each of the worship services and during Sunday School.

Call Sharon Werner at the church office to volunteer or write a note on a communication card this morning. Thank you!

is available to any parishioner who would
like to use it - specifically to invite
a friend to church. Please speak to
Sharon Werner at the church office.

We hope you are enjoying our new “cushioned seating”! These were obtained at a bargain price of $10 per chair. Because this purchase was not part of this year’s budget, please consider “purchasing” seats for yourself and perhaps for your entire family. If you wish to write a check for your donation, please make it out to St. Andrew’s Church and write “chairs” on the memo line. If you are giving cash, please place it in an envelope marked “chairs”

Our new worship space is lovely!....it
takes many hands to set up and take
down. Please see Erik Bostrom to volunteer to help set up on Saturday morning, and consider staying after the 11:00 service each week to help take down. Everyone needs to pitch in to see this job complete each weekend.

Last year we cared for the poor and sick just as Christ taught us by helping to complete the new 20-bed Ward at the Azur Christian Clinic in Hoima, Uganda.
This year we’re helping to spread the Gospel by paying for a Toyota SUV that Bishop Nathan uses to travel the many unpaved roads throughout the Diocese of Bunyoro-Kitara.
