Your Mission & Outreach Committee thanks you all.
Hello, Farewell!
St. Andrew’s has a new Clerk of Session!
John Mason has stepped into this important position, taking over from Larry Hebert, whose time as Clerk saw the search for a new minister, collapse of ceiling panels in the sanctuary and initiation of the Restoration campaign. Larry continues as co-chair of the Restoration Fundraising Committee and member of the Worship Committee. Many thanks for all the hard work and dedication through this difficult period.
John Mason, in addition to his duties as Clerk, chairs the Mission and Outreach Committee and ensures the presence of ushers to welcome all arriving for Sunday worship services. For an idea about the many talents he brings to the job, visit the Meet the Staff page. Welcome John!
St. Andrew’s has new Administrative Assistant

Faye will now be free to visit grandchildren and enjoy retired life. Thank you Faye!

Throughout the year the congregation of St. Andrew’s strives to express our faith through sharing with those in need, locally, nationally and elsewhere in the world.
