​

 

Simply Essentials has been an outreach program for one year at St. Andrew’s… what is it???!! It supplies essential items (usually 5-6 items in a bag) to our immediate church neighborhood. There is a team of 12 members that brainstorm items to be purchased each month… we then get together at 9 am on the last Thursday of each month to fill the bags and deliver them… we have a budget of $5.00 per bag… after shopping… we turn in our receipts to the church to be reimbursed… each of our 88 bags contains the same items. We currently  deliver to the apartments across the street from the church as well as those right beside us… 2 duplexes… and support some Congolese families and a few in our Darfur Community.

Church affirms that there can be no exclusiveness in the body of Christ. We welcome all, regardless of race, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, gender, ability, culture,

socioeconomic standing, education, family configuration, military status, or political perspective; and we

encourage the full participation of all in the

life of our congregation.

Our Shared Vision

Saint Andrew’s is a vibrant

community of faith striving to

provide a nurturing spiritual home for all, embracing God’s desire

for justice in the world.
