Worship Bulletin - Sunday, August 17

 

School Supply Drive

School starts this week and Governor Bent has asked if we would help with a school supply drive between now and August 16th, which is our next community forum on education. Items that are needed include boxes of tissue, paper towels, hand soap, Clorox/Lysol wipes, wooden Ticonderoga pencils, glue sticks, washable markers, liquid glue, boxes of colored pencils, crayons, scissors, and backpacks. Anything our congregation can do to help out the students and teachers at Governor Bent is very much appreciated. Thank you.

 

Community Forum: Attack on Higher Education

Saturday, August 16, 3 -4:30 pm

The Trump administration’s policies and actions have been described widely as an “attack” or “war” on higher education, aiming to reshape the role of the federal government in the sector and exert ideological control. This forum will bring together experts to discuss why this is happening, how it is happening, and the implicationsfor higher education in the future. UNM representatives will talk about the effects locally while researchers from George Mason University will focus on Florida and Virginia, key states at the epicenter for this movement. Panelists: Dr. Judith Wilde, GMU; Dr. James Finkelstein, GMU; Dr. Laura Haniford, UNM; Dr. Jim Burns, UNM.

 

Tutors Needed

Do you have 1 hour a week to give to supporting a child's progress in reading? If so, we're looking for you. One way St. Andrew supports Governor Bent Elementary School is to provide tutors for 1st and 2nd graders. We're looking for volunteers who can be available on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. Tutoring is scheduled to begin the Tuesday after Labor Day. If you are interested, please contact Kathy Renfro. **A background check is required.

 

Pastor Eric on Study Leave

No Need for Empty Pill Bottles

The team that assembles hygiene kits for our Neighborhood Friends no longer needs empty pill bottles for shampoo. They can be recycled in curbside recycling bins. 

 

Neighborhood Friends 

We have absolutely no men's clothing left, and only a few items of women's clothes. so there will be no clothes distribution for Sunday, August 24. There will be clothes to distribute on Sunday, August 17. Many many thanks, Sharon Craig.
