IN OUR PRAYERS: If you have a special concern, call the church office by Wednesday for listing the following Sunday.
On June 1 Rev. Earl Harvey, our pastor emeritus, celebrated 57 years of ordination as a Minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church. Let us give thanks to God for Earl's amazing contributions to the life of the church and for Lois who has been there every step of the way. Thanks be to God!
DOORBELL? Thanks to Steve & Sally , we now have a front doorbell & side doorbell. This is a great addition to help secure the church. Now the door can be locked & if a visitor comes we will know. Take a moment to check it out!
Summer Reading: St. Andrew Women's Book Group. The August meeting is Wednesday, August 26th. We will discuss Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel by Lisa See. The novel takes place in the late 1800's in remote China.
In September, we will meet Wednesday, September 30th. The book for September is The Infidel by Ayaan Hersi Ali. This is an autobiography of a woman who was born a Muslim in Somalia, sought asylum in Holland, and campaigned to address the plight of the Muslim women and children.
The Homebound Deacons, Ginger & Doris & Keith , are in charge of Project Share on June 27. They need your help, so please let them know what you can contribute or if you can assist.

Preparation for the July 2009 Church Directory have begun. Please verify your information & submit corrections via email to the church secretary: sapc2@juno.com.

Date change: The Celebration of Women’s Gifts service has been changed from July 12 to July 26 & Karen Cobb will be preaching on that Sunday.
Comfort Ye My People . . .There is hardly a family or congregation which is not touched by serious mental illness. Here at St. Andrew, a small group is heeding the call to respond to this need & invite you to join us. It is our goal to develop awareness, provide information & give support to caregivers, relatives, friends & individuals who struggle with mental health issues.
The next meeting is, Sunday June 21. If you have questions, please chat with Marilyn or Jan .
Do you know who the office volunteers are? Currently we have 5 regular volunteers: Jack , Anna , Molly , Ima , & Shirley . I am proud to announce we have 2 new "on-call" volunteers: Beth & Beverley .
Do You Know what they do? The office volunteer responsibilities have changed this year. The hours are 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. The primary responsibility is to answer the phone. The other duties are watering plants, occasionally making copies & rarely visiting with a guest. We no longer provide snack bags or bus tokens during the volunteer coverage.
We Still Need coverage on Thursday afternoons - if you can, please give it a try. For more information see the secretary or ask one of the above volunteers.
The Church Office thanks these priceless volunteers for giving their time to St. Andrew!!!
SPIRITUAL FORMATION . . . June 18. A number of us have been talking about wanting to deepen our spiritual relationship with God. We are in the exploratory stages of defining just what this means & just how it can be accomplished. There are really no formulas & we do not plan to 'read books', but rather to have open discussion around scripture & significant words & events in our lives, in an effort to share insights as we journey together.
We meet the 1st & 3rd Thursday of each month at 10:00 - 11:30 am in the library at church. The next two meetings will be, July 2 & July 16. If you are interested in deepening your faith & interaction, please come.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN - two speakers? The two speakers aren't compatible with the organ but can be adapted as stereo speakers. If interested see Steve or Sally .
