We’re celebrating the Feast of St. Andrew and having our Parish Potluck on Sunday, September 8th after the 10:15 service. Join us for festive music and worship with lessons about our patron saint, then join us in White Hall and in the courtyard for lunch. The church will provide hamburgers, hotdogs, and veggie burgers, and we’re asking you to bring a side dish or dessert to share. Please bring cold dishes that are ok to sit out, and it’s a good idea to bring a serving utensil. We’re expecting a crowd (please RSVP online or outside White Hall), so if you’d like to sit outside, bring a chair. Most of all, bring your self and your family! We’re ready to kick off a new program year with a celebration of the Eucharist and a celebration of our community!
Summer Choir continues through Labor Day. If you are interested in choir, but unsure of the commitment, Summer Choir is for you!. All that is needed is to show up on Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. to run through the service. For more information, contact Stephen Leist.
You are invited to join the St. Andrew’s team for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Out of the Darkness Community Walk on Saturday, September 28 at 10 am at Mount Trashmore, Virginia Beach.

You can register to join as a member of our St. Andrew’s team in person or as a virtual supporter here: https://supporting.afsp.org/team/336473

Ways to Help the WSA with their upcoming Holiday Market Bazaar. Do you like to make things with your hands? For years we have had a booth that sells items crafted by parishioners in this church. Whether you sew, paint, do needlework, craft, we would love for you to donate a hand-crafted gift to our booth. You can bring in your donations on Sunday and drop them off at the Church Mouse or leave them in the admin office during the week. Just make sure that you identify the gift as an item for the craft booth so that it won't get misplaced. And thank you in advance for your consideration.
Another way to help: If you have any gift cards that you know you will not use and which are not dated, consider donating them to the WSA to be used in our bazaar Mystery Bags this year. Or, as an alternative, purchase and donate a $5 gift card to places like Starbucks, Chick-fil-a, Dollar Tree - anywhere $5 will buy an item. Help make our raffle an even bigger success than it was last year! Donated cards may be put in an envelope with WSA written on the front. Place the envelope in the WSA mailbox or leave it with the admin office. Thank you. (P.S. The bazaar is on October 19, so mark your calendars.)
Our Cook-In Team is looking for more helpers! Do you have a penchant for pie crust? Are you great at stirring a pot (the cooking variety)? A wizard at washing dishes? There will be a lot of work going on in the kitchen in the next couple of months as we gear up for the holiday bazaar and replenish meals for the LGBTQ Life Center. Volunteers usually meet on a weekday morning to make soup and baked goods for the bazaar, and packaged meals for the LGBTQ Life Center. If you are interested in helping out, please contact the parish office or Llew Roberts at 252-943-8614.
Our Flower Guild is looking for volunteers to assist with flowers for Charles’ Celebration of New Ministry coming up in September. The volunteer schedule is as follows:
· Sunday, September 22nd – wash and prep buckets for flower conditioning (2 volunteers needed)
· Monday, September 23rd – Flower conditioning set up, separating flower by arrangement (2 volunteers needed)
· Wednesday, September 25th – Arranging
